AceShowbiz - The Mayor of Calabasas, California has blasted YouTube personality Jake Paul for disregarding COVID-19 restrictions and hosting a party at the weekend.

Hundreds of friends and fans joined the 23 year old at his mansion in the city, just outside Los Angeles, to hang out and play games, and footage of the bash suggests social distancing and face mask guidelines were completely ignored.

Outraged Calabasas Mayor Alicia Weintrau has slammed Paul, telling "Good Morning America" she "couldn't believe an event like this was taking place."

"We expect everyone in our community to act responsibly because we're in this together and we just cannot show such disregard."

And she's serving notice to Paul that he won't be able to stage parties like the one over the weekend again, "We're looking at all available options that we have from the city side and we're also working with the Lost Hills Sheriff's station to ensure nothing like this ever happens again in our community, that there is zero tolerance for parties like this."

The bash isn't the only controversy hanging over Paul, who was arrested and charged with participating in riots during a Black Lives Matter protest in Arizona back in May (20).

He was accused of unlawfully entering the Scottsdale Fashion Square mall, where he shot footage of people looting.

Critics claimed the YouTuber was taking part in the vandalism but he insisted he was only there to document the criminal acts. He also accused police officers of attacking him.

Posting footage on his Instagram Story account, Paul said, "To be clear, neither I nor anyone in our group was engaged in any looting or vandalism. For context, we spent the day doing our part to peacefully protest one of the most horrific injustices our country has ever seen, which led to us being tear-gassed for filming the events and brutality that were unfolding in Arizona."

"We were gassed and forced to keep moving on foot. We filmed everything we saw in an effort to share our experience and bring more attention to the anger felt in every neighborhood we traveled through; we were strictly documenting, not engaged. I do not condone violence, looting, or breaking the law; however, I understand the anger and frustration that led to the destruction we witnessed and while that's not the answer, it's important that people see it and collectively figure out how to move forward in a healthy way."

Reports suggest he was present after the protest was declared an unlawful assembly and he did not leave the mall when ordered to by police officials. He has been charged with criminal trespassing and unlawful assembly.
