Leonardo DiCaprio, Katy Perry, Oprah Winfrey, Sandra Bullock: Celebs houses under threat after tsunami alert in the US
On Tuesday, tsunami advisory for the West Coast, spanning California, Oregon, parts of Washington, Alaska and Hawaii, was issued. The tsunami advisory was sparked by a 8.7 magnitude earthquake on Russia's Pacific coast, in the Kamchatka peninsula in Russia. Let's take a look at some of the homes owned by celebrities which are under threat.
Oprah Winfrey
Oprah owns several properties on the island of Maui, Hawaii, spanning nearly 1,000 acres, realtor.com reported. She first purchased two parcels in the Kula region in 2002 and 2003, totalling 163 acres. She later developed them into a modern farmhouse retreat. At the moment, she is also facing backlash for apparently refusing to open a private Maui road during Hawaii tsunami evacuation.
Gwyneth Paltrow
Gwyneth Paltrow shares a modern Spanish-style house with a courtyard in Montecito with her husband, writer-producer Brad Falchuk. The home sits on a 2.4-acre lot in a popular oceanside community in Santa Barbara, California.
Katy Perry
Singer Katy Perry also owns an expansive Mediterranean-style mansion in Montecito area. She has rented out the luxurious $30 million estate, which she secured after a bitter legal battle with a disabled veteran, to actor Chris Pratt and his family.
Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis
Hollywood couple Mila Kunis and Ashton Kutcher have a beach house in Santa Barbara County. The celebrity couple recently listed their Santa Barbara County beach house with its views of the ocean and the Santa Ynez mountains on Airbnb. The white clapboard cottage comes with a deck which offers a clear, expansive view of the Pacific.
Paris Hilton
Paris Hilton's Malibu beach house was destroyed in the Palisades Fire earlier this year, which left her family heartbroken. Now, the house is under tsunami threat as well.
Mel Gibson
Mel Gibson owns a huge oceanfront home in Malibu. The home was also wrecked in the LA wildfires earlier this year while he was gone. The director and actor have resided there for the past 15 years.
Leonardo DiCaprio
Oscar-winning actor Leonardo DiCaprio has a waterfront property in Malibu. He purchased the four-bedroom, five-bathroom home for $13.75 million in 2021, according to Zillow. It sits off the Pacific Coast Highway on a private, gated road.
Jennifer Aniston
Jennifer Aniston also owns a beachfront nearly $15 million mansion in Montecito. The home is a spacious 4,320 square feet and boasts "picturesque ocean and mountain views, multiple terraces, landscaped gardens, and a massive motor court, all set on a private lot nestled among oak trees at the end of a long-gated driveway,' according to Architectural Digest.
Courteney Cox
The Friends star lives in a Malibu mansion overlooking the Pacific Ocean. She shared a beachfront house with her long-term partner Johnny McDaid, 47, and daughter Coco Arquette.
Sandra Bullock
In 2018, Sandra Bullock bought a contemporary beach house in the Malibu Cove Colony. It four-bedroom, four-bathroom getaway spans nearly 3,700 square feet and serves up panoramic ocean views. She has another property in the same area, which comes with direct beach access.

Soon after the winners of the 71st National Awards were announced on Wednesday, G V Prakash Kumar, who won the National Award for Best Music Direction (Songs) for the Tamil, Telugu bilingual film Vaathi, took to his X timeline to call the honour "a blessing for the second time". G V Prakash had won his first National Award for director Sudha Kongara's 'Soorarai Pottru'. Responding to G V Prakash's statement on X, music director A R Rahman wrote, "Wishing you many more ..Congratulations." G V Prakash, who had worked under A R Rahman for a while before turning music director, responded to Rahman's tweet, saying, "Thanks a lot sir." Interestingly, G V Prakash, had in an interview earlier, disclosed that although he was Rahman's nephew, he would always address him as "sir" with respect as he had worked under him. Director Sudha Kongara too congratulated G V Prakash on his second National Award. Taking to Instagram, she posted a picture of herself with G V Prakash and wrote, "Looooooong due my bestie buddy brother @gvprakash. So so awesome. here's to many many more!

Around Town: London's famed Wagamama lands in Mumbai, here's what to expect at this ramen giant
Wagamama, the popular global ramen chain, made its India debut late last month. Located on the first floor of the restored Cambata Building — home to the iconic Eros Cinema and the newly launched Swadesh by Nita Ambani — the 136-seater in South Mumbai has opened to a warm reception, with queues even on a Tuesday evening. Born in London's Bloomsbury in 1992, Wagamama is said to have flipped the script on Asian dining with its fast-paced, no-rules approach, serving food inspired by Japan's buzzing ramen bars and Asia's boldest flavours. Since then, it has become something of a cult classic across Europe and the Middle East. Its India entry signals more than the arrival of another restaurant; it underscores the world's growing attention to India's rising, spending population. The Mumbai outpost, spread across 4,000 sqft, offers a space that's minimal yet warm, reflecting its signature design with concrete and wood textures, bench seating, and origami-style hanging lamps. At the community tables, young parents, suited-up colleagues, and elderly diners share elbow space. The live open kitchen stays true to its ramen-bar inspiration; everything is served the moment it is ready. As soon as we placed our order, staff scribbled table numbers and details onto our paper placemats, and within minutes, appetisers began arriving. The menu features Wagamama's global hits: gyozas, katsu curry, yasai yaki soba, kare burosu, donburi bowls, and baos (prawn, lamb, chicken, and vegetarian). Over half the menu is vegetarian or vegan. We began with steamed yasai gyoza — lightly pan-fried, though slightly undercooked. The sticky miso corn ribs came alive with a touch of chilli sauce. The teriyaki renkon, developed for the Indian market, leaned sweeter than expected. The standouts? Firecracker cauliflower tucked into pillowy soft baos, delivering both crunch and heat, and kare burosu ramen with shichimi-coated silken tofu, udon noodles, and vegetables in a spicy, curried broth. For dessert, banana katsu, a golden-fried indulgence, balanced sweetness and crunch beautifully. At the core of Wagamama is kaizen, the Japanese philosophy of continuous improvement. When we mentioned the food leaning towards sweetness in some dishes, Chef Sunil Shetty acknowledged the feedback. 'Some guests are happy we've retained the London-style Wagamama. Others find it sweet. But we're working on it,' he said. Karan Kapur of K Hospitality Corp, the group that spent nearly two years bringing Wagamama to India, setting up the supply chain, and conducting exhaustive research and hundreds of trials, echoed the sentiment. Acknowledging India's diverse palate, he shared that they have added dishes for every palate, and they are also in the process of launching an India-specific chilli sauce for those who prefer a fiery kick. Kapur is also looking to take Wagamama across the country, with plans to launch 100 outlets over the next decade. Each opening, he says, will be deliberate and rooted in quality, not speed. Next stop: Delhi-NCR, where the second Wagamama is expected to open by April 2026, either in the heart of Delhi, the bustle of Gurgaon, or both.
