Breaking News: Ben Affleck returns home to Pacific Palisades and Revealed How his $20 million mansion survived deadly LA wildfire

Published

Ben Affleck could breathe a sigh of relief after he returned home to find his home had survived the massive wildfires ripping through Los Angeles on Wednesday.

The 52-year-old actor and filmmaker was spotted driving up to his mansion in LA’s Pacific Palisades neighborhood, which has been devastated by the fast-moving blaze.

Despite his decision to return, the home appeared to still be in an evacuation area.

Ben arrived home in a business-ready tan sport coat and a white dress shirt, as he had driven their from his office.

The Argo star had been seen the night before as he arrived at home with a shocked expression on his face as flames were visible near his house, which he bought following his split from Jennifer Lopez.

He was subsequently forced to evacuate the $20.5 million home, but he focused on helping others by heading to his ex-wife Jennifer Garner’s home afterward to ferry her and their children to safety.

 

Ben was spotted later on Wednesday as he met up with a friend, and he beamed ear-to-ear.

Although he was lucky that his home survived when so many other Westside stars and Pacific Palisades residents lost their homes, he isn’t out of the woods.

Blustery winds continue to whip across Los Angeles and could still ignite new fires, though they appear to have mellowed somewhat from their highs on Tuesday night and Wednesday morning.

Since the fire broke out in Pacific Palisades, new fires have started further east in Altadena, which forced major evacuations in nearby Pasadena on Tuesday night.

More fires broke out in the Hollywood hills on Wednesday, threatening heavily populated parts of Hollywood.

The Armageddon star has only been living in Pacific Palisades for a short time after he bought a home in the area for $20.5 million following his separation from Jennifer Lopez.

Although it’s far from the opulent retreat that he and his ex had lived in together in Beverly Hills, it’s not exactly tiny with 6,247 square feet and five bedrooms and six bathrooms.

Prior to living in his current home he had lived at the massive, 38,000 square foot Georgian mansion that he and Lopez purchased for $60 million.

It boasts 12 bedrooms and 24 bathroom and features numerous amenities, including a 12-car garage and an elevator, but so far the couple haven’t found a buyer after putting it on the market for $68 million.

After separating from Jennifer — but prior to her going public with her divorce filing — Ben had been seen living in a Brentwood rental, which isn’t too far from his current home and kept him in the same neighborhood that his ex-wife Jennifer Garner and his children live in.

Although Ben has so far been lucky, other celebrities experienced heartbreak due to the fierce flames.

Stars including Adam Brody and Leighton Meester whose home was destroyed, along with Anna Faris’ mansion.

John Goodman and Anthony Hopkins were left with nothing but rubble after their homes burned, and Billy Crystal and Eugene Levy also lost their houses.

Actor James Woods shared video of the approaching flames shortly before he evacuated ahead of the destruction of his house.

The Hills stars Spencer Pratt and Heidi Montag saw their home destroyed in the wildfire, and Spencer was pictured looking somberly at the approaching flames before his family was forced to flee.
