Ben Affleck looks shocked as he returns home to see rapidly advancing Pacific Palisades fire near his house


Ben Affleck returned to an unwelcome surprise on Tuesday when he arrived home as a massive wildfire engulfing part of the Los Angeles' west side was in view.

Ben is a producer on the film — along with his best friend Matt Damon — but it's unclear if he planned to attend the premiere, as he has largely sat out publicity events for the inspirational sports drama in order to keep the focus on Jennifer's work on screen. The wildfire has already engulfed more than 1,200 acres in the area, which is sparsely populated with massive celebrity estates surrounded by vegetation-covered hills, which has left plenty of fuel for the fire, unlike denser neighborhoods further inland. The entire city has been hit with severe wind exceeding 100mph in some areas, which resulted in wildfires raging through 1,200 acres of the Pacific Palisades forcing thousands to evacuate (pictured Tuesday)
