Overgrown myrtus communis hedge

Overgrown myrtus communis hedge

by a year ago

It's roughly 4 feet wide by 10 feet high and over 70 years old.  I'd like to cut it back to 2 feet by 6 feet.  I know it will look terrible for a few years, and I don't want to kill it.  Southern California, if that helps.  Can I do this safely?
