Chris Pine<\/strong><\/a>‘s in a court battle with his neighbor over the roots he’s put down in L.A. — roots that are allegedly infiltrating this woman’s backyard … and we mean that quite literally.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

TMZ has obtained legal docs that show Chris ensnared in a showdown with someone named Helen Yu<\/strong> — who lives next door to him in the Hollywood Hills … and who’s brought action against him for what she claims is destruction of her property due to his trees.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

<\/p>\n

\n \"Chris<\/p>\n

<\/a>\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

Long story short … Yu alleges Chris has planted at least a dozen ficus trees at the border of his own home, but because these pesky plants have out-of-control roots … she claims they’ve started to spread and encroach on her own parcel, and it’s ruining her yard.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

\"Ficus\n <\/div>\n

<\/a>\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

In the docs, she says she ended up suing Chris back in 2022 — a lawsuit that flew under the radar — but they quickly went into mediation, where they’ve been trying to work out a resolution to this behind closed doors.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

Obviously, that isn’t working out … Helen says Chris seemed willing to settle this privately, until he ended up hurling another stone … allegedly claiming Helen’s fence was encroaching on his side of the property line.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

They’ve been going back and forth ever since.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

<\/a>\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

At this point, Helen says she’s at her wit’s end, with no resolution to the original problem — namely, these freaking Ficus trees — which she alleges have uprooted a lot of the concrete hardscape at her home, and infiltrated the actual foundation of her house.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

\"Helen\n <\/div>\n

<\/a>\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

In her docs, Helen says she was seeking around $267,000 to settle this with Chris — while being open to giving him $75k for his own grievances, which her insurance company was going to handle — but after Chris allegedly balked at that … she’s now asking for way more.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

<\/p>\n

\n<\/section>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

Helen says she now wants upwards of $346k — covering the full cost to repair all the damages she claims she’s endured — and extra damages for infliction of emotional distress in the amount of an extra $225,000. So, in total, she wants around $571,000 from Chris.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

We’ve reached out to his camp … so far, no word back.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n
