Actor Sebastian Harrison nearly jumps into ocean as LA wildfire destroy his Malibu mansion

Actor Sebastian Harrison took cover behind rocks as his $2.4 million Malibu mansion was consumed by flames after car troubles left him unable to escape.  

“I stayed, even though everyone, you know, the police came and they said, ‘Evacuate,’ and everyone had left, I was the only one there,” Harrison, 59, told the Telegraph.

He explained that he helped his 89-year-old father, also a retired actor, to safety before attempting to defend the 3-acre property he purchased in 2010. Harrison tried to protect his home by hosing down the roof and removing outdoor furniture, but his efforts were in vain as the fire quickly closed in.  

“I’m still hiding behind the boulders,” Harrison said in a social media video, which showed his house engulfed in flames.  

He recounted that he tried to leave in his Mercedes but was unable to start the vehicle.  

“It was hell. It was inferno … I really couldn’t see because of all the orange, breathing smoke and everything … I fell on my rib, and then I just took cover behind the rocks, and there were sheets of embers just going over me,” he told the Telegraph.  

Eventually, he found a functioning car and began driving through the chaotic, fiery streets, recording the apocalyptic scene around him. Firefighters reached him around 9 p.m., just as the car he was using caught fire.  

Harrison described the ordeal of escaping the inferno as “treacherous.”
