A luxury Pacific Palisades mansion once featured in the television drama “Succession” has been destroyed by the wildfires ravaging the Los Angeles area, the Daily Mail reported.
Photos published by the Mail seemingly show the house reduced to charred beams and rubble.
The mansion was purchased by the founder and CEO of the lidar manufacturer Luminar Technologies, Austin Russell, for $83 million in 2021, per Realtor.com.
The 20,000-square-foot house, known as the San Onofre estate, featured six bedrooms and 18 bathrooms and had been available to rent for $450,000 a month.
