Ben Affleck was seen giving back to those affected by the catastrophic Los Angeles, Calif., wildfires by volunteering at a homeless encampment Tuesday.

The “Jersey Girl” actor — whose $20 million Pacific Palisades mansion survived the deadly fires — was photographed with a team of volunteers outside of the grounds.

At one point, Affleck was seen looking exhausted as he took a smoke break along with a staffer holding a binder.

The Oscar winner wore a gray jacket layered over a blue sweater and purple shirt with tailored gray pants and white Nike sneakers.

It’s unclear what kind of charitable work he was doing but there was no shortage of people desperately in need of his help.

Thousands of residents have been displaced after more than 16,000 structures, including homes and businesses, were destroyed in the fires that broke out Jan. 7, Time reported this week.

The blaze killed 28 people and torched more than 50,000 acres of land.

At the time, Affleck was forced to evacuate his Pacific Palisades home and fled to his ex-wife Jennifer Garner’s abode due to the fires.

He had purchased the ritzy bachelor pad in July 2024 after things went south with ex-wife Jennifer Lopez.

Fortunately, the five-bedroom, six-bathroom estate — which also features a pool, a guesthouse and horse stables — was spared in the disaster.

Several celebrities did lose their homes in the fires, however, including Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt, Adam Brody and Leighton Meester, Paris Hilton and more.

Affleck may have been inspired to offer his aide just weeks after the “13 Going on 30” actress, 52, volunteered with World Central Kitchen to provide LA firefighters with meals.

Last November, the exes and their kids teamed up to volunteer at a homeless shelter on Thanksgiving.

Garner and Affleck have remained amicable since ending their 10-year marriage in 2015. The former spouses share three kids: Violet, 19, Seraphina, 16, and Samuel, 12.
