According to fire officials, the plane hit a privately owned drone, which caused significant damage to its left wing. The impact forced the plane to land for repairs and caused a 20 to 30-minute delay in its operations. Super Scooper planes fly low and pick up water, which is then dumped over wildfires. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has restricted the airspace over the wildfires to prevent danger to the public and the firefighters and law enforcement operating in the area.
Affleck – who split from Jennifer Lopez for a second time in 2024 – initially evacuated his home in Brentwood last week, amid the wildfires. According to The Daily Mail, he reportedly acquired his $20.5 million “bachelor pad” in July. While many A-listers have reported heartbreaking news about their wrecked homes, others such as Jamie Lee Curtis and Affleck were lucky their properties came out unscathed.
“I did lose a friend, and for our church, it’s really tender so I don’t feel like we should talk about her yet. I did lose a friend who did not get out in time,” she told MSNBC while volunteering at World Central Kitchen to feed those who had been evacuated due to the fires.
Garner, who also lives in Brentwood with her children Violet Anne, 19, Seraphina Rose, 16, and Samuel, 12, added: “My heart bleeds for my friends. I mean, I can think of 100 families, and there are 5,000 homes lost. I can – without even [thinking] – I could just write out a list of 100 friends who lost their homes.”.
