US TV footage showed flames leaping into the sky at the Pasadena mansion with up to 70 firefighters working to keep it under control.
The mansion, made famous as Batman alter-ego Bruce Wayne’s home, was being renovated by its owners when fire broke out, the Pasadena Fire Department said.
The 16,000 sq ft home is reportedly set in five acres of land.
As well as being home to Bruce Wayne, the mansion has been used in a number of other TV shows and films including 1991’s Dead Again, starring Kenneth Branagh, Emma Thompson and Derek Jacobi.
No word yet on Alfred.
