Hunter Biden’s luxury Malibu rental home was destroyed in the Pacific Palisades fire, Daily Mail reports. “My son lives out here and his wife. They got a notification yesterday their home was probably burned to the ground,” Joe Biden said, according to the outlet. “Today, it appears that maybe [it’s] still standing, but I’m not sure,” he added.

Gone is the picturesque, white-painted property with floor-to-ceiling windows and in its place, a charred mass of crumbled masonry with only two chimney stacks still standing. The luxury rental once boasted a gourmet kitchen, and a ‘guest studio with private balcony overlooking the ocean that creates the perfect artistic space’. The studio was used by Hunter to work on the paintings he uses to fund his lifestyle, although any still there have also been wiped out. Also destroyed in the blaze was the neighboring home which had been rented by Hunter’s Secret Service protection detail for an eyewatering $16,000-a-month – the tab picked up by the US taxpayer. The house is one of several Malibu rentals Hunter has occupied in recent years. His previous residence was also in the beach city. That Spanish-style pad cost him $20,000-a-month while his security detail were put up in an even more lavish property next door – at a cost of $30,000-a-month.

They got a notification yesterday their home was probably burned to the ground. Today, it appears that maybe [it’s] still standing, but I’m not sure.” Hunter Biden spent much of his father’s presidency staying at a luxury mansion in Malibu, California, but it’s not clear if the elder Biden was referring to that home during Wednesday’s briefing.
