WATCH: Boat Full Of Migrants Docks On Barbra Streisand's Beach Backyard
A boat carrying suspected illegal migrants washed up on a beach reportedly near Barbra Streisand's property in Malibu, California.
Video footage obtained by Fox News' Bill Melugin from an unnamed Malibu resident appeared to show a boat docking on a beach Tuesday afternoon.
The surveillance footage, taken at around 1 p.m., showed approximately 25 people disembarking from the 25-foot panga boat, a vessel often used by drug traffickers and human smugglers.

Incredibly rare to see this so far north, as Malibu is 100+ miles away from the border. Unclear if anyone caught, awaiting a CBP response. pic.twitter.com/n9tIIAaHSh

The New York Post reported that the boat landed about half a mile from Streisand's $100 million oceanfront mansion but did not cite an official source.
Enstarz could not independently verify if the boat landed near Streisand's property, but TMZ reported that the iconic singer and actress owns three adjacent properties in the area, all bordering a cliff overlooking the ocean.
The suspected migrants quickly scattered from the scene, as seen in the video shared on X, formerly Twitter. As of late, there is no confirmation if any of them have been apprehended.
The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Malibu/Lost Hills Station told Fox 11 that authorities found a sunk panga boat off the Malibu coast Wednesday.
The U.S. Coast Guard received a call around 7:30 a.m. that day about the vessel.
However, no individuals were discovered, only debris and life jackets.
An investigation into the boat is ongoing.

Both Streisand and Customs and Border Protection have not publicly addressed the reports.
Malibu is an ultra-exclusive stretch of the California coast, home to various celebrities, including Lady Gaga, Julia Roberts, Jennifer Aniston, Cher, Will Smith and Leonardo DiCaprio.
The incident has raised questions about the city's sanctuary status, with some speculating it may have influenced the choice of the boat's arrival location.
Migrant crossings into the U.S. have surged in recent years, with Customs and Border Protection reporting over 2.48 million migrant encounters in the last fiscal year, the highest on record.
The incident coincides with the recent release of Streisand's memoir, "My Name Is Barbra."
The entertainer shared anecdotes in the tome, including a memorable rehearsal with Donna Summer, who once passed out while holding a high note during their 1979 hit song "No More Tears (Enough Is Enough)."
Streisand, 81, also revealed in an interview with The New York Times that her book, originally intended to be submitted in two years, took a decade to complete, and she initially wanted it to be two volumes.
"My Name Is Barbra" was released on Nov. 7 via Viking.
