The FBI visited Ben Affleck's Los Angeles home over the weekend, but TMZ reports that the actor was not in any legal trouble. 

FBI agents, along with Los Angeles County sheriff deputies, were seen in the Brentwood neighborhood, where Affleck currently resides after his recent divorce from Jennifer Lopez.

Photographs obtained by TMZ show two FBI agents outside Affleck's property and two sheriff deputies leaving the area. 

Law enforcement officials were reportedly investigating an incident in which a private drone collided with a firefighting aircraft, damaging the plane while it was assisting in efforts to control the devastating wildfires in the region. The fires have already claimed 24 lives and destroyed thousands of homes in Los Angeles.

While it is unclear if the FBI agents directly interacted with Affleck, TMZ clarifies that he is not the focus of the investigation. His home, located near the Pacific Palisades, was close to some of the worst-hit areas of the fires, prompting safety concerns.

Affleck had been seen evacuating his home during the fires, later visiting the nearby home of his ex-wife Jennifer Garner to check on their children. On Saturday, he was photographed embracing his daughter Violet, who visited him to ensure his well-being.
