Ben Affleck had a tense encounter with police outside his Brentwood home on January 14, following an FBI investigation into unauthorized drone activity related to recent wildfires. He was seen gesturing to officers after being evacuated from his rental home on January 7. The FBI visited Affleck's property to check for surveillance footage that might show a drone that damaged firefighting aircraft during the Palisades Fire. Affleck has not been implicated in the investigation. Despite the evacuation, Affleck returned to his home on January 8 and has been actively helping wildfire victims. His ex-wife, Jennifer Lopez, has also been supportive during this time.
