Ben Affleck was seen driving back to his $20.5 million bachelor residence in Los Angeles on Wednesday after being compelled to evacuate due to the Pacific Palisades wildfire. The Oscar-winning actor acquired the mansion just five months prior, in July 2024, during a tumultuous period concerning his ex-wife Jennifer Lopez.

Earlier reports suggested that the Argo star sought refuge at the home of his former spouse, Jennifer Garner, in Brentwood. In a subsequent update, a source informed Page Six that he returned to his property after the fire seemed to have subsided, discovering that it remained intact amidst the surrounding devastation.

Ben Affleck's $20m bachelor pad appears to have survived the LA fires

Ben's residence remains under an evacuation order; however, he expresses deep gratitude that his property is currently secure, according to an insider. Images released by the publication depict a serious Affleck arriving at his Pacific Palisades home in a black sedan while entering the access code.

The source from Page Six further emphasized that Ben Affleck is actively reaching out to anyone who might assist, as he is aware of numerous individuals who have tragically lost their homes amid the ongoing devastation affecting Los Angeles. The star of The Accountant reportedly resides in a spacious and airy home that features five bedrooms and six bathrooms, along with several horse stables.

Celebrities whose luxury estates were saved despite the wildfires

In stark contrast to the safety of his residence, the nearby buildings in the community experienced severe destruction. Nevertheless, the Air director was not the sole fortunate celebrity whose home withstood the Los Angeles fire. By mere coincidence, the opulent properties of Kate Hudson, Tom Hanks, Steven Spielberg, Chris Pratt, Rebel Wilson, Dan Aykroyd, Jennifer Love Hewitt, and Tom Brady were reportedly spared, as stated by the Daily Mail.

Others who suffered misfortune

Affleck's residence was among the rare properties that withstood the fierce, wind-driven wildfires. In contrast, several prominent figures, including Leighton Meester and her spouse Adam Brody, Anna Faris, Billy Crystal, Eugene Levy, John Goodman, Paris Hilton, as well as The Hills stars Spencer Pratt and Heidi Montag, were less fortunate, as their cherished homes fell victim to the flames.
