Ben Affleck and his daughter, Violet, were recently photographed sharing an emotional embrace after the LA home evacuation amid the wildfires. The raging firestorm across Los Angeles County has forced thousands of residents out of their homes. Affleck, too, had to flee his property due to the destructive Pacific Palisades fire. The actor rushed to his ex-wife Jennifer Garner’s home following the evacuation. The two stars share three children — Violet, Seraphina, and Samuel.
Ben Affleck and daughter Violet share a sweet embrace amid LA fires
Page Six reported that Ben Affleck was recently photographed with his daughter, Violet. The duo were spotted sharing a touching moment after he was forced to evacuate his home due to the LA wildfires. The father-daughter shared a hug outside the actor’s $20 million property. Affleck also looked emotional while sharing a sweet embrace with the 19-year-old. The filmmaker wore a gray hooded jacket and paired it with sweatpants.
On the other hand, Violet was dressed in a black hoodie and dark blue jeans. She also wore a white N-95 mask to protect herself from the smoke. According to TMZ, Affleck drove to Jennifer Garner’s house in Brentwood after evacuating his own. At the time, the latter had not evacuated her property. Page Six noted that Affleck returned to his Pacific Palisades home on Wednesday. The property, fortunately, survived the destructive wildfires.
As per recent reports, firefighters made some progress in containing the multiple wildfires. However, they remain in a critical stage. CNN reported that the National Weather Service has issued an expanded warning about winds. This could further fuel the ongoing blazes, or, worse, spark a new one. The Palisades Fire is 14% contained after jumping to 23,713 acres, notes the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection. Meanwhile, the Eaton Fire stands at 33% containment after burning 14,117 acres. On the other hand, the Hurst Fire is 97% contained after burning 799 acres.
