Actor Ben Affleck leaves home due to California wildfires

Hollywood actor Ben Affleck has left his home due to a massive disaster in California.

Paparazzi captured Ben Affleck leaving his mansion in Pacific Palisades due to a forest fire. According to journalists, the actor went to his ex-wife Jennifer Garner, with whom their children live.

Ben Affleck was forced to evacuate his home and seek safer shelter further away from the impact area. According to TMZ, the “Argo” director fled to ex-wife Jennifer Garner’s home, who reportedly lives nearby since the still friendly exes share three kids together.

Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson’s son Chet Hanks—who currently resides in Nashville—shared a heartfelt Instagram Story as the wildfire continued to grow. He wrote, “The neighborhood I grew up in is burning to the ground right now. Pray for the Palisades.”

Hanks and Wilson — who have owned many homes in the Pacific Palisades over the years, including one that was burglarized last fall — have not yet issued a statement on the fires.

On January 7, a wind-driven wildfire began in western Los Angeles. Local authorities ordered the evacuation of residents of the Pacific Palisades area. By January 8, the fire had grown to 13.44 square kilometers. US President Joe Biden declared a major disaster in California.

Model and actress Paris Hilton lost her Malibu beach house in a fire. The media noted that despite the fact that it is not the celebrity’s primary residence, it is a “great loss” for her.

The stars of the show “Hollywood Hills” also lost their property in the US. Actor Spencer Pratt posted a video on TikTok about how his California estate was engulfed in flames.

Earlier it was reported that the US assessed the damage from the fires in Los Angeles.
