The famed “Bachelor” mansion is reportedly among the structures burned in the raging southern California wildfire.
The Woolsey wildfire, which started Thursday night and has since coursed towards Malibu and the Pacific Ocean, burned the mansion’s back patio and was pushing closer toward the residence, sources told The Hollywood Reporter.
Flames also reportedly devastated the home’s lower house.
