Jennifer Lopez has reportedly been 'checking in' with her ex-husband, Ben Affleck, and his children Violet, 19, Fin, 16, and Samuel, 12, amid the deadly Los Angeles wildfires.

The 55-year-old actress is said to have felt 'worried and concerned' after learning that her former spouse and his family were among the 130,000 people under evacuation orders, which have extended from the Pacific Coast to inland Pasadena.

A source told Page Six that she 'reached out as soon as she heard about Ben’s home possibly being in danger and that he was evacuated' and to see how he was coping during the 'whole ordeal.'

Additionally, she 'let him know she’s there for him and the kids,' who he shares with his ex-wife, Jennifer Garner.

'She offered her support for whatever they need,' the insider noted. 

To Affleck and his loved ones' relief, his property has survived the massive wildfires ripping through Los Angeles.

After fleeing his residence, he was seen heading for safety at Garner's home. 

Although Affleck was lucky that his home survived when so many other Westside stars and Pacific Palisades residents lost their homes, he isn't out of the woods.

Blustery winds continue to whip across Los Angeles and could still ignite new fires, though they appear to have mellowed somewhat from their highs on Tuesday night and Wednesday morning.

Since the fire broke out in Pacific Palisades, new fires have started further east in Altadena, which forced major evacuations in nearby Pasadena on Tuesday night.

More fires broke out in the Hollywood hills on Wednesday, threatening heavily populated parts of Hollywood.

The Armageddon star has only been living in Pacific Palisades for a short time after he bought a home in the area for $20.5 million following his separation from Lopez.

Although it's far from the opulent retreat that he and his ex had lived in together in Beverly Hills, it's not exactly tiny with 6,247 square feet and five bedrooms and six bathrooms.

Prior to living in his current home he had lived at the massive, 38,000 square foot Georgian mansion that he and Lopez purchased for $60 million.

It boasts 12 bedrooms and 24 bathroom and features numerous amenities, including a 12-car garage and an elevator, but so far the couple haven't found a buyer after putting it on the market for $68 million.

After separating from Jennifer — but prior to her going public with her divorce filing — Ben had been seen living in a Brentwood rental, which isn't too far from his current home and kept him in the same neighborhood that his ex-wife Jennifer Garner and his children live in. 

Although Ben has so far been lucky, other celebrities experienced heartbreak due to the fierce flames.

Stars including Adam Brody and Leighton Meester whose home was destroyed, along with Anna Faris' mansion.

John Goodman and Anthony Hopkins were left with nothing but rubble after their homes burned, and Billy Crystal and Eugene Levy also lost their houses.
