Tropic Thunder star Nick Nolte sustained injuries this morning when his home caught fire and he tried to put the blaze out by himself. The L.A. County fire department arrived on the scene at 11:34 a.m.
The damages are being estimated at $500,000 in content damages and $1,000,000 in structural damages. The blaze was reportedly due to an electrical malfunction in the bedroom.
Nolte’s injuries were smoke inhalation and abrasions. The actor was still at the grounds of his home and had not yet seen a doctor for his injuries, according to TMZ, though Nolte indicated he does plan to be checked out by his personal physician.
