Ben Affleck in Shock as Fierce Wildfire Grows Near His Pacific Palisades Mansion – Watch Now!

Ben Affleck was shocked when he returned home on Tuesday to see a huge wildfire moving closer to his Los Angeles home. The 52-year-old actor was photographed driving up to the house he has been renting in the Pacific Palisades area since his split from Jennifer Lopez.

Affleck looked surprised as he arrived, with his window rolled down despite the poor air quality caused by the fire nearby. The fire, which has been destroying homes in the upscale neighborhood, also led to the cancellation of several Hollywood events, including a premiere for Jennifer Lopez’s new film, Unstoppable. Ben is a producer on the movie but has avoided public events to let the focus be on Jennifer’s performance.

Ben was dressed in a navy blue suit and a white shirt, though he had left the shirt unbuttoned and didn’t wear a tie. It’s unclear whether he had planned to attend the premiere, as he has often stayed away from such events to support Jennifer.

The fire was moving rapidly through the Pacific Palisades neighborhood, which is home to many celebrities, including Ben, Tom Hanks, Reese Witherspoon, and Adam Sandler. The blaze has already destroyed over 1,200 acres of land and continues to threaten the area. Other stars, including James Woods, posted about the fire on social media, showing the danger it posed to the neighborhood.

Ben, who bought his $20.5 million home in the area after his separation from Lopez, had previously lived in a large mansion with her in Beverly Hills. The Pacific Palisades house is much smaller at 6,247 square feet, with five bedrooms and six bathrooms. However, it’s still a luxurious place to live.

Despite this, Ben’s current home is at risk as the fire has already destroyed several celebrity estates in the area. Winds of over 100 mph have caused the fire to spread quickly, forcing thousands of people to evacuate, including Ben’s neighbors.

The fire has also forced other Hollywood stars, like Spencer Pratt, to evacuate. Pratt filmed the fire and the efforts of firefighters trying to control it. His home was destroyed by the blaze, but he and his family managed to escape in time.

The Getty Villa, a famous museum, was also threatened by the fire. Some vegetation on the estate was burned, but the buildings and artworks were safe. The museum’s staff had worked hard to clear brush from around the area to protect it from fires.

The Pacific Palisades area, along with other parts of Los Angeles, has been hit by extreme winds, leading to widespread wildfires. The situation is dire, with over 30,000 people forced to evacuate, and many are stuck in traffic as they try to flee the flames.

Stars like Chris Pratt and Reese Witherspoon also live in the evacuation zone. Firefighters continue to battle the blaze, while residents and celebrities alike try to escape the destruction.
