As fierce wildfires sweep through Southern California, it’s impacting more than just the landscape—over 30,000 residents have been ordered to evacuate, leaving behind their homes and a little slice of paradise. Talk about a housewarming party gone wrong, right? Among those affected is none other than our favorite actor, Ben Affleck, who recently ditched his luxurious $20.5 million Pacific Palisades mansion—an investment he made just five months ago! It’s almost as if the universe said, “Nice house, but how about some unexpected drama instead?”
With the air thick with smoke and uncertainty, we’ll dive into how this catastrophic event is not just a local tragedy but one that has reached the doorsteps of Hollywood’s elite. Buckle up, because things are about to get real, and no one is immune to nature’s whims!
As devastating wildfires continue to ravage Southern California, more than 30,000 people have been forced to evacuate their homes.
The area is home to countless celebrities, many of whom have been profoundly impacted by this historic disaster.
One such star is Ben Affleck, who was forced to abandon the $20.5 million Pacific Palisades mansion that he purchased just five months ago.
Affleck reportedly closed on the five-bedroom, six-bathroom in July of 2024, shortly after his separation from Jennifer Lopez.
Lopez and Affleck finalized their divorce earlier this week.
Now, Ben’s turbulent 2025 continues, as Page Six is reporting that his home lies squarely within the mandatory evacuation area.
The outlet also reports that Affleck headed straight to the home of his first wife, Jennifer Garner, who lives her and Ben’s three kids, Violet, 19, Seraphina, 16, and Samuel, 12.
According to Page Six, Garner lives “who live a short distance from” Affleck, but in an area that has not yet been affected by the fires.
The fires began Tuesday morning, and sadly, they’re still a long from being contained.
High wind warnings continue through this evening, and it’s too early to even begin calculating the damage. The Los Angeles Times reports that at least two people have been killed and more than 1,000 homes and businesses destroyed.
And of course, Ben is far from the only celebrity who’s been impacted by the disaster.
Numerous other stars have been devastated by this week’s fires, including James Woods and Anna Faris, both of whose houses were destroyed by the flames.
Reality star Spencer Pratt documented the destruction of his mansion on social media, while All My Children actor Cameron Mathison shared the tragic loss of the house he hoped to pass down to his kids.
“We are safe. But this is what’s left of our beautiful home,” Mathison wrote on Instagram today. “Our home where our kids were raised and where they wanted to raise their own someday.”
We’ll have further updates on this developing story as new information becomes available.
