Ben Affleck appeared a bit downcast as he returned to his Artists Equity office in Los Angeles on Sunday after being temporarily forced to evacuate his $20.5M five-bedroom, six-bathroom Brentwood mansion for days amid the wildfires.

Ben co-founded the artist-led independent production company in 2022 with his BFF Matt Damon and Gerry Cardinale of RedBird Capital.

On January 7, Affleck – who was visited by the FBI on January 12 amid an unauthorized drone investigation – fled his house to briefly stay at his ex-wife Jennifer Garner‘s $7.8M four-bedroom Brentwood Park home, which was also spared from the blaze.

Firefighters have entered day 12 of the battle against two different wildfires destroying nearly 40K acres with the Palisades fire being 52% contained and the Eaton (Altadena) fire being 81% contained.
