Sir Anthony Hopkins is selling his California estate at a huge loss

The two properties will again be divided, with what was originally the pricier home, complete with a swimming pool, listed for $2.55 million and the other priced at $3.85 million, the Sunday Mirror newspaper reports.

The Silence of the Lambs star's lost his estate in the blaze earlier this year but remained philosophical at the time.

The acclaimed film star - who was born in Wales, but has lived in the US for decades - wrote on social media: "As we all struggle to heal from the devastation of these fires, it's important we remember that the only thing we take with us is the love we give [heart and prayer emojis] (sic)"

Meanwhile, Anthony recently reflected on how he knew he needed to get help for his drinking when he realised he "could have killed" someone while driving around California during a "blackout".

The Thor actor - who celebrated 49 years sober last December - told The New York Times' The Interview podcast: "I was drunk and driving my car here in California in a blackout, no clue where I was going, when I realised that I could have killed somebody - or myself, which I didn't care about.

"I came to my senses and said to an ex-agent of mine at this party in Beverly Hills, 'I need help.' "

Anthony had a "spooky" moment where he heard a "vocal, male, reasonable, like a radio voice" speak to him from the inside, and he instantly lost his desire to drink.

He continued: "It was 11 o'clock precisely - I looked at my watch - and this is the spooky part: Some deep, powerful thought or voice spoke to me from inside and said: 'It's all over. Now you can start living. And it has all been for a purpose, so don't forget one moment of it.'

"The craving to drink was taken from me, or left. Now I don't have any theories except divinity or that power that we all possess inside us that creates us from birth, life force, whatever it is.

"It's a consciousness, I believe. That's all I know."
