FBI agents visited Ben Affleck's home over the weekend as fires raged throughout the Los Angeles area, but tried to keep the reason for their visit a secret.
Of course, there are no secrets in Hollywood, and it was only a matter of hours before the reason leaked out, and we are are to update: A representative from the FBI's press relations office told Page Six that “Members of the FBI‘s Ground Intercept task force are conducting activity in the area of the Palisades Fire relative to unauthorized drone activity."
“Agents and our local partners may be visible throughout the area, including at various residences, for this reason,” according to the FBI.
Another source said that the same agents came to Affleck's home to check if he had security footage of a drone that hit a super scooper, one of the firefighting aircraft.
Page Six reached out to Affleck for comment, but so far he has not commented.

Last week, paparazzi captured Affleck arriving home to witness the fire in his neighborhood. He rushed to his ex-wife Jennifer Garner's house to help her and their children escape safely.
As of this writing, Affleck's estate has been spared the horrific disaster. Affleck's insiders told Page Six, "Ben's home is still under evacuation order, but he's grateful that it's safe for now."
