In October 2016, we completed the sale of 600 rooms at the Hilton Waikoloa Village to HGV in connection with timeshare projects. The net book value of these assets was approximately $177 million. Due to our continuing involvement, this transaction was not recognized as a sale and was accounted for as a sales-leaseback liability under the financing method. The assets were derecognized at the end of lease term in December 2019. Pursuant to an arrangement representing a lease, we reserved exclusive rights to occupy and operate these rooms beginning on the date of transfer and continuing until the end of the lease term. During 2017, 134 of the 600 rooms at the Hilton Waikoloa Village previously transferred to HGV and leased back by us were released to HGV; accordingly, we derecognized $38 million of property and equipment, net, and the related $39 million liability due to HGV. During 2018, we transferred a restaurant at the Hilton Waikoloa Village to HGV and derecognized $3 million of property and equipment, net and $3 million of the related liability due to HGV. During 2019, the remaining 466 rooms at the Hilton Waikoloa Village were released to HGV; accordingly, we derecognized $123 million of property and equipment, net, and the related $135 million liability due to HGV, and recognized a gain of $12 million within other gain, net in our consolidated statements of comprehensive income.

In September 2017, Hurricanes Irma and Maria caused damage and disruption at certain of our hotels in Florida and the Caribe Hilton in Puerto Rico. The Caribe Hilton remained closed throughout 2018 and reopened on May 15, 2019. Our insurance coverage provides us with reimbursement for the replacement cost for the damage to these hotels, which includes certain clean-up and repair costs, exceeding the applicable deductibles, in addition to loss of business. Claims related to the Hilton Caribe were fully settled in December 2019.

During the year ended December 31, 2019, we recognized $70 million of insurance recoveries, of which $39 million related to property damage, $28 million related to business interruption, and $3 million related to expense reimbursements. Business interruption proceeds are included within ancillary hotel revenue in our consolidated statements of comprehensive income. Additionally, we recognized a net gain of $18 million within casualty (gain) loss and impairment loss, net in our consolidated statements of comprehensive income, which includes a gain of $27 million for amounts recovered from insurance in excess of the insurance receivable and a loss of $9 million relating to property damage at certain of our hotels that we may not recover from insurers. The insurance receivable as of December 31, 2019 and 2018 was $4 million and $25 million, respectively, and is included within other assets in our consolidated balance sheets.

During the year ended December 31, 2018, we incurred $35 million of expenses, and based upon additional information obtained during the period, we recognized an additional loss of $22 million for property and equipment that was damaged during the hurricanes. These amounts were offset by the recognition of an insurance receivable of $57 million. Additionally, we received $119 million of insurance proceeds, of which $25 million related to business interruption and $6 million related to expense reimbursements.
