Ben Affleck Clarifies FBI Visit to His Home Was Unrelated to Drone Crash

The actor revealed the visit was tied to a nearby break-in, dispelling earlier media speculation about his involvement in the Palisades Fire investigation.

Ben Affleck confirmed the FBI visited his Brentwood home in January 2025, but the visit was unrelated to him personally.
The FBI was investigating a break-in at a federal official's nearby residence, not the Palisades Fire or a drone crash as initially speculated.
Affleck learned about the visit through media reports and clarified the situation after contacting law enforcement.
Media speculation linking the visit to a drone crash during the Palisades Fire was fueled by the presence of FBI agents in jackets and photographers outside Affleck's home.
The FBI's activity in the area was tied to unauthorized drone activity during the wildfire, but Affleck's home was far from the crash site.
