Ben Affleck ‘sheltering from California wildfires with ex-wife Jennifer Garner’

With his ex-wife Jennifer Garner, Ben Affleck is escaping the Pacific Palisades’ wildfire.

The Good Will Hunting actor, 52, is one of a string of celebrities who has been forced to flee the infernos in the Los Angeles neighbourhood, which have devastated homes and keep growing due to 100-mile-per-hour winds. On Tuesday night, Ben was spotted driving his black SUV to Jennifer, 52, while holding his arm out of the window.

Jennifer and her and Ben’s children – Violet, 19, Seraphina, 16, and 12-year-old Samuel – are reported to not have been ordered to evacuate the area yet, but they are on standby. In the midst of the blazes, close to 30 000 residents of the Los Angeles area have evicted their homes.

Actor Eugene Levy, 78, told the Los Angeles Times he got trapped in traffic as he tried to flee his neighbourhood. He claimed that Temescal Canyon’s smoke appeared to be intense and dark. I couldn’t see any flames but the smoke was very dark”. Prince Harry, 40, and Meghan Markle, 43, who own a $14 million mansion in Montecito, California, are also facing evacuation orders and may have the power cut from their home.

Reality star Spencer Pratt, 41, and his wife Heidi Montag, 38, saw their home totally destroyed during the fires. Their Pacific Palisades home “burned to the ground,” according to a source who spoke to TMZ The Hills regulars who were safely evacuated their neighborhood.

Around 10:30 am on Tuesday, the wildfires started spreading quickly and quickly to thousands of acres. As reported by Bang Showbiz, according to California governor Gavin Newsom, fire season – which isn’t “traditionally” at this time of year – has become “year-round in the state of California”.

According to the outlet, scientists will take some time to assess the possible role climate change may have played in the blaze, which might include drying out the land or lowering wind speeds. According to scientists at World Weather Attribution, climate change causes the US to experience hot, dry weather, which causes dry vegetation and fuels wildfires.
