Hollywood star Ben Affleck has been forced to evacuate his $20 million Pacific Palisades mansion as devastating wildfires continue to sweep across Los Angeles, leaving a trail of destruction and forcing celebrities to flee their homes.
The wildfire, which has already destroyed the homes of stars like Jamie Lee Curtis, Paris Hilton, Mandy Moore, and Adrien Brody, posed a significant threat to Affleck’s newly purchased property. Reports reveal that the actor, visibly distressed, had to leave his luxurious residence to escape the advancing flames.
TMZ reported that Affleck has taken refuge at his former wife Jennifer Garner’s home, where their three children live. This comes just a day after CNN confirmed that his divorce from singer Jennifer Lopez had been officially finalized, drawing significant media attention.
However, conflicting reports from Daily Mail claim that Affleck’s home remains undamaged. The actor reportedly returned today to assess the condition of his property.
The Los Angeles wildfires have caused widespread destruction, displacing thousands of residents and leading to event cancellations across the city. As emergency services continue to battle the blaze, the crisis highlights the severe impact of climate-driven natural disasters on communities and public figures alike.
