Jane Seymour to stay in Malibu home despite wildfire scares
The actress has replaced flammable plants and installed water systems to protect her oceanfront estate after a narrow escape in December 2024.
Actress Jane Seymour has decided not to sell her Malibu oceanfront property despite experiencing at least six wildfire scares, according to the Times of India. The 75-year-old has lived in the California coastal community since purchasing the estate for $3.4 million in 1994.
Seymour experienced a close call in December 2024 when her house was almost destroyed. To protect the 6,326 square-foot property, she has implemented several fire-fighting measures, including the installation of fire hydrants and a system to draw water from her swimming pool.
Following consultations with local fire officials, the actress also overhauled her landscaping. She removed plants that were prone to catching fire or were not drought-tolerant, replacing them with vegetation suited to the arid climate.
Seymour expressed her attachment to the tight-knit Malibu community and stated she intends to continue supporting the area. She noted that living close to nature requires respecting its unpredictability.
Beyond her residence, Seymour recently launched a lab-grown diamond jewellery collection with QVC's Soul to Soul line on November 6. She also confirmed her engagement to musician and physician John Zambetti in June.
