The actor's "bachelor pad" was one of the few places left untouched by the disaster, although the area where it is located remains vulnerable to possible new fires.

Ben Affleck bought a house for $20.5 million after he split from his ex-wife Jennifer Lopez and was forced to evacuate due to the Pacific Palisades fire.

On Wednesday, Affleck returned to his home in Pacific Palisades, which he evacuated the night before because of the growing wildfires that had engulfed the neighborhood.

The actor's house has 6,247 square meters, five bedrooms, six bathrooms and cost him $20.5 million when he bought it after his split with Lopez.

According to Daily MailIt is one of the houses yet to be ravaged by the scourge of wildfires, which have been piling up for days.

For his trip home, the actor donned a formal tan sport coat and white shirt, and arrived in a black SUV.

Despite Affleck's return, the house remains in an evacuation zone, and reports warn that increased winds could ignite new fires.

In addition to evacuating his home earlier, the actor helped his ex-wife Jennifer Garner and their children to evacuate, as they live in the same neighborhood.

The Pacific Palisades fire started shortly after Affleck and Lopez settled their divorce through mediation, avoiding a courtroom battle.

It officially marks the end of their relationship, following their whirlwind rekindling of romance in 2021, leading to a 2022 wedding.

While most details of the former couple's divorce will remain private, Daily Mail announced that Lopez will keep the engagement ring that Affleck gave her when he proposed.

The "Accountant" star reportedly paid around $5.6 million for the jewelry when it was purchased, and its value has likely increased since then.

While Affleck was lucky his home survived, several other Hollywood stars in Pacific Palisades and surrounding areas watched their properties go up in flames.

Legendary actor Anthony Hopkins has lost the stunning four-bedroom, five-bathroom home he bought for $6 million in 2021.

Actors Adam Brody and Leighton Meester were also not so lucky, as they lost their $7 million mansion where they lived with their two young daughters.

Similarly, fire completely destroyed actress Anna Faris' $5 million eco-friendly home and the homes of reality stars Spencer Pratt and Heidi Montag.

According to reports, more than 1,000 buildings have been destroyed since the fire started.

In addition, more than 30,000 residents were forced to flee their homes, while the governor of California declared a state of emergency.

The wildfires are said to have been fueled by a combination of drought-like conditions and strong offshore winds that have hit the Los Angeles area since Tuesday.

Among them, the Pacific Palisades fire appears to be the most devastating, having consumed over 17,234 hectares since its inception. It is now also considered the most destructive fire in Los Angeles history.

The Eaton fire has also proven to be as destructive as the Palisades fire, with reports claiming it has destroyed over 10,000 acres as of Wednesday.

The San Fernando area was also devastated by the Hurst Fire, which started in Sylmar and quickly grew to 500 acres.

Other fires that have yet to be contained in the Los Angeles area include the Sunset Fire and the Lydia Fire, which devastated the Hollywood Hills area and the Acton community, respectively.

Experts predict that with the increased winds, the situation in the Pacific Palisades area will get worse before it gets better.

"Not only is this event not over, it's just begun and it's going to get significantly worse before it gets better," UCLA climate scientist Daniel Swain shared at the briefing. Los Angeles Times.

These winds forced crews to ground firefighting planes that were dumping water on the fires. Winds disperse water or retardants before they can effectively reach the fire.

He also said that due to the low humidity in this area, there could be more forest fires.

Swain also urged people to be safety conscious and urged them to lend a helping hand to those in need.

"Please prioritize your own safety, as well as the well-being of those around you, as we come together to continue to weather this widespread disaster," said Swain, per NBC News.
