Ben Affleck returns to his $20 million mansion after ‘escaping’ fires

Ben Affleck has returned to his mansion after escaping in the middle of the Pacific Palisades fires in Los Angeles.

On the evening of January 7, the actor “left” his residence, located in Brentwood, “after being evacuated,” the Daily Mail reported.

According to media reports, he went to the nearby home of his ex-wife, Jennifer Garner, to possibly pick up her and their children and take them to a safe place together.

Hours after the fire in the area began to be contained by firefighters, Ben Affleck returned to his residence, which managed to survive the fire.

The director was arrested in his black truck at the entrance of his home while writing the security code on the entrance.

“His home is still under an evacuation order, but he’s very grateful that his property is safe for now,” a source told Page Six.

“He knows a lot of people who unfortunately lost their homes. “He’s seen a lot of disasters and it’s beyond tragic… He’s trying to help whoever he can,” he added.

The portal points out that the “Armageddon” star acquired the luxury home in July 2024 for $20.5 million.

Presumably, it would be the same one he moved into in May, following his split from Jennifer López, from whom he would finally split this coming February.

The structure, TMZ reported, has five bedrooms, six bathrooms, a dining room, living room, office, dressing rooms and other amenities.

To date, the fire in the area has burned about 15,000 acres since it started Tuesday morning.

The BBC reported that the flames at the site had been contained by 6% since Thursday 9th, so the threat will continue.
