Many celebrities and A-list stars in Los Angeles have had an emotional week following the dangerous wildfires that continue to destroy parts of California. Among the list of celebs forced to evacuate is Ben Affleck, who recently returned to his home in the Pacific Palisades.
The actor received an unexpected visit from FBI agents and deputies from the L.A. County Sheriff's Department. The agents were photographed outside Affleck's residency in Brentwood amid the ongoing fires.

The actor's $20.5 million property was not affected by the disaster, despite being on the border of the Palisades, which have suffered tremendous damage, with residents being forced to evacuate over the weekend.

"He feels so grateful his property is safe for the time being,” said a source to Page Six. “I’ve lived in the Palisades and surrounding neighborhoods for 25 years,” Garner said to MSNBC. “We all feel the need to step up and do something to help.”

Jennifer talked to the publication about her close friends and family who have been affected by the situation. “I could easily list 100 friends who lost their homes,” she said. “Walking through my house, I feel almost guilty. What can I do? How can I help? It’s time we all step up.”
