A visit from FBI agents and Los Angeles police officers was paid to Ben Affleck at his bachelor pad in the midst of the wildfires that were destroying the area.
On Sunday, law enforcement officials were captured on camera outside of the residence of the "Gone Girl" actor in Brentwood, California.
According to a statement made by a representative of the FBI press relations office to Page Six, "Members of the FBI's Ground Intercept task force are conducting activity in the area of the Palisades Fire in relative to unauthorized drone activity."
"Agents and our local partners may be visible throughout the area, including at various residences, for this reason," the rep added.
A source said that FBI agents were at Ben's home to check if he had CCTV footage of a private drone that had damaged a super scooper, one of the firefighting aircraft.
After being forced to evacuate his home due to the Palisades Fire, the anxious father of three was captured on camera racing to the residence of his first ex-wife, Jennifer Garner, the previous week, per NewsBreak.
According to photographs that were obtained by Page Six on Tuesday of last week, the actor from "Good Will Hunting" went to Garner's residence, where she resides with their three children, Violet, 19, Seraphina, 16, and Samuel, 12, with his arm hanging out of the window of his black SUV.
After finding that his twenty million dollar property, which he had purchased during the course of his divorce from Jennifer Lopez, had not been harmed by the fires, Affleck went back to his home the following day.
An insider told Page Six that Ben's home is still under evacuation order, but he feels grateful that his property is safe for the time being.
"Ben knows many people who unfortunately lost their homes. He has seen a lot of devastation, and it's beyond tragic. ... Ben is reaching out to anybody he can to help," the source said.
It was observed that Ben was spotted tearfully hugging his eldest daughter outside of his residence on Saturday.
In addition, Page Six said that the actor from "Deep Water" has been "in regular contact" with Lopez, his second ex-wife, despite the wildfires that have been occurring.
According to the source, the actress from "Selena" has been checking in on Ben throughout the ordeal and has let him know she's there for him and the kids.
Business Times has reached out to Ben Affleck for comments.
