An electric malfunction started a fire which resulted to at least $3 million worth of damages to the Malibu home of “The Prince of Tides” actor Nick Nolte. Nolte also suffered minor injuries as a result of smoke inhalation and an attempt to fight the fire using a garden hose.

Los Angeles fire Inspector Frank Garrido said the fire caused both structural damage and damage to Nolte’s artwork, collectibles and other personal possessions.

Garrido said the fire has already reached the kitchen and the living room and the entire residence had smoke damage. The 67-year old Nolte reportedly jumped out of a window from an upstairs bedroom when he detected the fire.

The blaze has been taken out by the firefighters 26 minutes after they arrived in the property but still, a portion of Nolte’s house and most of his belonging inside has been damaged partly by water and by fire.
