Ben Affleck was seen having an intense conversation with law enforcement officers as he pulled out of his driveway in Brentwood on Tuesday - just two days after his home received a shock visit from the FBI. FBI agents and deputies from the LA County Sheriff's Department were spotted arriving at Affleck's home on Sunday. Agents waited outside the gate to his property for several minutes before leaving.

They were allegedly investigating an incident in which a private drone collided with a firefighting aircraft, damaging it, TMZ reports. Affleck's home is not located in an evacuation zone, but he lives near the Pacific Palisades, a neighborhood that has been devastated by one of the fires.
