The FBI recently paid a visit to Ben Affleck at his Los Angeles home over the weekend, causing quite a stir. However, it turns out that the actor was not in any trouble with the law, as confirmed by TMZ. The FBI agents, accompanied by L.A. County sheriff deputies, were seen at Affleck’s residence in the Brentwood neighborhood, where he now resides following his divorce from Jennifer Lopez.
Photos obtained by TMZ show two FBI agents standing outside the gate of Affleck’s house, with two sheriff deputies walking away from the scene. The law enforcement officers were reportedly investigating an incident involving a private drone colliding with a firefighting aircraft, causing damage. The aircraft, known as a “super scooper,” was assisting in battling the wildfires in the Los Angeles area that have tragically claimed 24 lives and destroyed numerous homes.
While it remains unclear whether the FBI agents made contact with Affleck, sources reveal that he was not the target of the investigation. Despite this, Affleck’s proximity to the Pacific Palisades, an area heavily affected by the wildfires, raises safety concerns for the actor.
Last week, Affleck was photographed evacuating his home during the fires and later checking on his ex-wife Jennifer Garner and their three children, who live nearby. Over the weekend, Affleck was seen embracing his daughter Violet, who visited him at his Brentwood residence along with Jennifer to offer support.
These trying times have undoubtedly impacted Affleck and his family, as well as the entire Los Angeles community. It is a reminder of the importance of staying vigilant and supporting one another during times of crisis.
