At 82 years old, the actor has experienced many challenges, but this one was particularly distressing.
The wildfires have caused chaos in the area, forcing many residents to evacuate quickly.
Reports say that over 30,000 people have had to leave their homes due to the flames.
Ford, who bought his Brentwood estate for $12.6 million in 2011, was seen getting into a police car.
The police helped him check on his property and see how it was faring against the fire.
When he returned to the safe area, he looked even more concerned, especially after hearing about the damage to nearby homes.
While Ford was away from home, he did not have his wife, Calista Flockhart, or their children with him.
Just a few days before the evacuation, he had attended the Golden Globe Awards with his daughter, Georgia.
He explained to the press that his wife was in New York for work and could not be at the event.
Many other celebrities also had to evacuate.
Some of them lost their multimillion-dollar homes in the flames, including stars like Anna Faris and Anthony Hopkins.
The wildfires began and spread rapidly.
The wildfires began on January 7, when strong winds helped them spread rapidly.
Many homes in the Pacific Palisades area were lost to the flames.
Tragically, two people have died because of the fires, and many others have suffered serious injuries.
Firefighters are working hard, but the situation is very serious.
The impact of LA wildfires
The wildfires have devastated the area, destroying not just homes but also popular restaurants and shops.
The day after the evacuation, the fire chief of Los Angeles reported the extent of the wildfires.
He mentioned that the fires have been fierce and have left behind significant destruction.
Many residents had to leave with little more than their pets and the clothes they were wearing.
Sunset Boulevard, a well-known street in the area, was filled with abandoned luxury cars.
People had to flee quickly, often leaving their vehicles behind to escape on foot.
The fire spread so fast that it was advancing at an alarming rate, consuming blocks of expensive homes.
Important sites were safeguarded from the wildfires.
Officials also reassured the public that important places, like the Getty Villa, have been protected.
The museum confirmed that all its art and artifacts are safe from the fires.
However, many residents are still anxious about the future and the safety of their homes.
