Ben Affleck Leaves His $20.5 Million Mansion Amid Palisades Fire and Evacuates

Ben Affleck is among the many affected by the devastating wildfires currently sweeping through parts of California. His home, a newly purchased five-bedroom, six-bathroom property in Los Angeles, lies within a mandatory evacuation zone. The fires, which began early on January 7, 2025, have caused widespread destruction, and Affleck has reportedly sought refuge at the home of his first wife, Jennifer Garner. Garner’s house, located just a short distance from Affleck’s, remains unaffected by the fires, and she has welcomed him and their three children—Violet, Seraphina, and Samuel—into her home.

The fires have wreaked havoc on the area, with at least two confirmed fatalities and over 1,000 homes and businesses destroyed. Affleck is not the only celebrity to be impacted, as other stars like James Woods, Anna Faris, Spencer Pratt, and Cameron Mathison have also lost their homes. Mathison shared an emotional post about the loss of his house, which he had hoped to pass down to his children.

The fires are far from contained, and high wind warnings continue to complicate efforts to control the flames. The situation remains dire, and more updates will follow as details emerge. Our thoughts are with all those affected by this tragedy.
