Ben Affleck attends the Los Angeles premiere of “The Tender Bar” at TCL Chinese Theatre on Dec. 12, 2021, in Los Angeles. Unlike other Pacific Palisades residents, Ben Affleck reportedly could breathe a sigh of relief after he briefly returned home Wednesday to find that his recently purchased, $20 million property had thus far survived one of the destructive, wind-whipped wildfires tearing throughout the Los Angeles area since Tuesday.
The Los Angeles County Fire Department estimated that more than 1,000 homes and other structures have been destroyed in the upscale celebrity enclave since the fire broke out in the hills there Tuesday morning,Elsewhere, five people were reported to have died in the Eaton fire, which is raging through Altadena and nearby Pasadena, with 0% containment. More than 1,000 structures have been destroyed in those communities.
Affeck was spotted later Wednesday, smiling, as he met up with a friend at an undisclosed location, the Daily Mail also reported. In her statement to the media, Chrystal also said, “Words cannot describe the enormity of the devastation we are witnessing and experiencing. We ache for our friends and neighbors who have also lost their homes and businesses in this tragedy.”
