Chris Pine is reportedly having some issues with the woman who lives next door to him in Los Angeles.
He and his neighbor in the Hollywood Hills, music attorney Helen Yu, are battling some tree roots that have reportedly crossed the border of her property, it is alleged.
Yu has filed a lawsuit against the Star Trek actor over what she claims is the destruction of her property because of his trees. TMZ reported.
She claims Pine, 43, planted a row of Ficus trees – which notoriously have out-of-control roots – which have spread across her property and are reportedly ruining her garden.
But the actor – who attended the White House Correspondents’ Dinner – has his own problem with Yu, it was also reported.
He claims her fence encroaches on his property line and that part of the dispute has blocked mediation on the issue.

Pine has been making the rounds to promote his directorial debut Poolman, which he also co-wrote and stars in.
Fans have noticed that the Princess Diaries actor has been wearing some quirky outfits lately.
Pine revealed that the outfits were a nod to Darren Barrenman, the pool man he plays in the film.
The film also stars Danny Devito, Annette Bening, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Ariana DuBose and DeWanda Wise.

Pine recently talked about what it was like growing up with actors as parents. Both his father Robert, who starred in CHiPs, and his mother Gwynne were actors for a time.
“It got rougher and rougher in the ’80s,” Chris said People. “My dad, the work got scarcer and scarcer, and then the real estate crash in ’87 or ’88 pretty much wiped out my family.
‘Then it was a very difficult few years, and then my mother went back to school. I have so much respect for what she did. She went back to UCLA and got her BA. She went back and got her master’s degree at Antioch,” he explained.
He also explained that as a child, his mother worked multiple jobs to make ends meet.

“They put two kids through college and private school, put my mom through college and paid off their debt,” Chris said.
“I really understand how fast it can go, how good it can be and how quickly people don’t answer your calls,” he said.
“The kind of deep respect I have now for my father, who is becoming a man — because I think I’m still becoming a man — to know what he had to do for his family,” he said.
‘It requires strength and humility. I don’t know if I would have the same strength.’
