The 52-year-old actor lowered his window to get a better look, his face showing a look of bewilderment. A moment later, Ben drove to Jennifer Garner's house in the nearby Brentwood neighborhood. According to Dailymail, Ben is living alone in a rented villa in Pacific Palisades. The Batman star also just bought a $20 million mansion in this neighborhood 5 months ago, after divorcing singer Jennifer Lopez.

Ben Affleck, Jennifer Garner and their children are safe, according to a source. As of Wednesday afternoon, Garner and her children had not been evacuated from their home. Ben was seen visiting neighbors in Brentwood that afternoon.

Earlier, singer Jennifer Lopez drove to her ex-husband, actor Ben Affleck,'s house over the weekend, one day before news broke that the couple had reached a divorce agreement.

Jennifer Lopez was seen arriving at Ben's house on Sunday afternoon, January 5, to pick up her daughter Emme. The 55-year-old singer stepped out of the car in comfortable clothes, a big smile on her face. Ben Affleck walked Emme, 16, to the gate. He smiled and greeted his ex-wife before they said goodbye. Although they split up over the summer, Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck still see each other occasionally because their children are close.

About the Los Angeles wildfire that destroyed many Hollywood homes and forced thousands to evacuate. The fire burned more than 1,200 acres in the Pacific Palisades area, home to many large celebrity estates and mansions perched on vegetation-covered hills.

The disaster has led to the cancellation and postponement of numerous events, including the Critics Choice Awards on January 12. The premiere of the Ben Affleck-produced film Unstoppable, starring Jennifer Lopez, has also been postponed.

Not only Ben Affleck was involved in the disaster, but Paris Hilton and many other stars were heartbroken after losing their homes in the wildfires. Paris Hilton said she was heartbroken when she saw her Malibu mansion burned down in the wildfires sweeping through Los Angeles.

On Instagram on the evening of January 8, Paris Hilton shared an emotional post about the wildfire disaster that devastated her home and many others. "It's heartbreaking beyond words. Sitting with my family, watching the news and seeing our home in Malibu burn down on live TV is something no one should ever have to go through. This home is where we built so many precious memories. This is where Phoenix took her first steps and where we dreamed of creating lifelong milestones for London."

The 43-year-old star said despite the loss, she was grateful her family was safe. She sent her prayers and condolences to the families affected by the bushfires.

The Malibu mansion is not Paris Hilton's primary residence. The multimillionaire entrepreneur owns several other properties in Los Angeles and lives primarily in her Beverly Hills mansion.

Paris Hilton is not the only celebrity who lost their home in the devastating wildfires in Los Angeles over the past day. The fire broke out fiercely in Pacific Palisades at 10:30 a.m. local time on January 7, burning down an entire neighborhood and spreading, forcing tens of thousands of people to evacuate. TV stars Spencer Pratt and Heidi Montag, Adam Brody and Leighton Meester, and actor James Woods... lost their homes to the fire.

In a video posted on TikTok on January 8, Heidi Montag sobbed as she shared that her mansion had burned down along with all of her belongings. "I'm heartbroken that my house is destroyed. I wish I could go back and get my things. There are no words. I'm grateful that our family is safe."

Many other celebrities have homes in the Pacific Palisades area, but it is unclear how they were affected, including actors Reese Witherspoon, Steven Spielberg, Michael Keaton, Tom Hanks, Ben Affleck, Mandy Moore... Tom Hanks' son, Chet, wrote on Instagram that the neighborhood where he grew up was burning. By Wednesday afternoon, some areas in Malibu and Santa Monica had also received evacuation orders and warnings. The cause of the wildfire is still under investigation.
