Actor Mel Gibson has presented his own theory regarding the LA wildfires, and it left many baffled.

The Mad Max star lost his £12million Malibu home in the fires.

That prompted a reaction from him that led to backlash.

“I can make all kinds of horrible theories up in my head

– conspiracy theories and everything else – but it just seemed a little convenient that there was no water.

“And that the wind conditions were right and that there are people ready and willing and able to start fires,” he said, believing that the destruction could have been “commissioned” to clear homes off valuable land.

Following the reports that a suspect was arrested in relation to starting one of the fires, the actor asked if that person, whose identity hasn’t been revealed, was acting on their own or he could have been “commissioned” to do what he had done.

“They seem pretty well equipped, some of these people that they’re catching.

“I know they were missing with the water, letting reserves go for one reason or another,” Gibson said in a recent interview with Fox News’ Laura Ingraham for The Ingraham Angle.
