Ben Affleck shared a tender moment with his daughter Violet after having to evacuate his Los Angeles home due to the Palisades Fire.
The father of three was photographed warmly hugging the 19-year-old outside of his $20 million property on Saturday as the wildfires continued to rage around the city.
Affleck appeared emotional as he held Violet close and closed his eyes during the sweet embrace.
The âGone Girlâ star â who shares his three children with ex-wife Jennifer Garner â was dressed casually in a gray hooded jacket and sweatpants.
Meanwhile, Violet wore a black hoodie and dark blue jeans.
The college freshman also protected herself from the ash and smoke in the air by covering her nose and mouth with a white N-95 mask.
Affleck, 52, flashed a smile at one point during the visit with his daughter, who will likely be returning to Yale University for the spring semester.
Violetâs siblings, Seraphina, 16, and Samuel, 12, were not pictured.
The Oscar winner returned to his Pacific Palisades home on Wednesday and was relieved his home had survived the ravaging fires.
âBenâs home is still under evacuation order, but he feels so grateful his property is safe for the time being,â a source exclusively told Page Six on Thursday.
The insider told us that Affleck knows many people who lost their homes in the fires.
âHe has seen a lot of devastation, and itâs beyond tragic. ⊠Ben is reaching out to anybody he can to help,â they said.
Affleck â who settled his divorce from Jennifer Lopez one day before having to evacuate â has been in âregular contactâ with the singer amid the devastation.
A separate source told us that Lopez has been âworried and concernedâ for her ex and has âbeen checking in on Ben throughout this whole ordeal.â
The âHustlersâ actress, 55, has âoffered her supportâ for Affleck and his kids as the flames continue to destroy thousands of homes in the area.
Lopez filed for divorce from Affleck in August 2024 after two years of marriage. They did not share any children together.
