California owner of squatter-infested Hollywood Hills mansion apologizes, offers to repay taxpayer funds

The owner of the two Hollywood Hills mansions that have been taken over by squatters and taggers has issued an apology and vowed to rectify the situation.

"I would like to apologize to the people of Los Angeles, and especially to my neighbors. What’s happened to the two properties I own is unacceptable, and no matter what caused it, I own the houses," John Powers Middleton, film producer and son of the Philadelphia Phillies owner John S. Middleton, said in a statement sent to Fox News Digital.
