How did George Berkeley answer the claim that objects disappear when nobody perceives them?

The Irish philosopher George Berkeley addressed the concern that objects cease to exist when they are not being perceived by humans through his doctrine of immaterialism.

Berkeley argued that physical objects are collections of "sensible ideas" and that for nonthinking beings, esse est percipi—"to be is to be perceived." To explain why objects do not vanish when human observers are absent, he posited that they continue to exist because they are perceived by God. In this view, God’s constant perception and thinking sustain the existence of all things in the universe.1

Additionally, Berkeley maintained that objects remain "perceivable" even when not currently being observed by a person. He rejected the notion that objects have an intermittent, "in-and-out" existence, asserting that his philosophy was consistent with common sense and that he did not believe objects were created or annihilated by the shifting attention of human minds.2
