Military Presence Outside Ben Affleck’s L.A. Home Amid Wildfires

Ben Affleck's Brentwood home has become an unexpected hotspot for authority figures lately, with the military now joining the scene after recent visits from the FBI and police.

On Thursday, the actor returned home to find a sand-colored military Humvee stationed outside, complete with a turret mount for a machine gun. A uniformed officer stood nearby as Affleck drove past, seemingly unfazed by the unusual sight in his affluent Westside L.A. neighborhood.

Sources confirm that the National Guard has been patrolling the area due to the Pacific Palisades wildfire, which has devastated over 23,000 acres and left parts of Malibu and the Palisades in ruins. Affleck’s property sits near the edge of the evacuation zone, making the neighborhood a focal point for disaster response efforts.

This isn’t the first time Affleck’s street has been buzzing with activity. Earlier this week, FBI agents investigated a drone that collided with a firefighting aircraft near his home. Reports clarify that Affleck himself isn’t under investigation.

In another incident, the actor was seen in a heated discussion with police officers, reportedly over issues with private security blocking access to his neighborhood.

With the FBI, police, and now the military at his doorstep, Affleck’s quiet retreat has turned into a hub of high-stakes activity. Let’s hope the CIA doesn’t make an appearance next!
