ADELE has been warned her plush new Beverly Hills pad is at high risk if there is an earthquake, The Sun can reveal. Authorities in Los Anegeles found in a survey that the £44.5m eight bedroom, 12 bathroom mansion in the star-studded Beverly Park guard-gated community is within an “active fault near-source zone”.
Official records confirm the estate located on a hillside lies in a potentially hazardous area along the Hollywood Fault. The California Geological Survey concluded in 2014 that the home - which the Rolling In The Deep singer bought from Sylvester Stallone in January - is within the active fault, which is capable of generating a magnitude 7 earthquake.
The "seismic hazards" section of the survey noted that the buildings and home would be at risk of a landslide in a quake. The lefthand side of the site, which features scenic views of the city, appears to be a major concern.
A special seismic shut off valve for gas was installed to prevent potential explosions in case of tremors. But the quake fear is not Adele’s only worry as city inspectors ruled her 3.5 acre estate is also in a "very high fire hazard severity zone”.
