Ben Affleck reportedly hurries to Jennifer Garner’s home during Los Angeles wildfire

On Tuesday, January 7, 2025, as emergency evacuation news broke, residents rushed from their homes, allegedly including Ben Affleck.

According to TMZ, Affleck, who resides in Pacific Palisades, raced to Jennifer Garner’s home. Garner currently lives in a rental nearby while her Brentwood farmhouse undergoes renovation.

It remains unclear whether Ben Affleck went to see his former partner and children or sought refuge, but he was seen sitting in his car, appearing frustrated and tense.

The couple got married on June 29, 2005, and has three children named Violet Anne, 19, Seraphina Rose, 16, and Samuel, 12. They got divorced in October 2015, as Ben Affleck stated in 2021 at an appearance on The Howard Stern Show that they "grew apart."

The Los Angeles City Fire Department issued a warning, urging residents to evacuate due to the rapidly spreading wildfire. The statement read:

"People in the area of Palisades need to evacuate now due to a rapidly moving wildfire. Pack all people and pets into your vehicle and leave the area immediately. If you are not in the mandatory evacuation zone, stay off the roads to allow first responders and evacuees to move quickly," the statement read.

According to Hello Magazine, the large fire has burned over 10,000 acres of land, forcing more than 30,000 people to leave their homes. With at least five fires reported in the county, this event is among the most destructive in the city’s modern history.

President Joe Biden released a statement on January 7, 2025, indicating that he had been in communication with officials managing the fire. He announced that "FEMA approved a fire management assistance grant to support the affected areas and help reimburse California for immediate firefighting costs."

"I am frequently briefed on the wildfires in western Los Angeles. My team and I are in contact with state and local officials, and I have offered any necessary federal assistance to help extinguish the devastating fire in Pacific Palisades," Biden said.

Many other celebrities, including Jennifer Aniston, Guillermo del Toro, Bradley Cooper, Tom Hanks, Rita Wilson, Reese Witherspoon, and more, were evacuated and are reported to be safe, according to Hello Magazine.
