Chris Pine is reportedly having some problems with the woman who lives next door to him in Los Angeles.
He and his next door neighbor in the Hollywood Hills, music attorney Helen Yu, are beefing over some tree roots that have allegedly crossed over onto her property line, it has been claimed.
Yu has filed a lawsuit against the Star Trek actor for what she alleges is destruction of her property due to his trees, TMZ reported.
She claims Pine, 43, planted a row of Ficus trees – which have notoriously out-of-control-roots – that have spread onto her lot and are allegedly ruining her yard.
But the actor – who attended the White House Correspondents’ Dinner – has his own beef with Yu, it was also reported.
He claims her fence encroaches on his property line and that part of the disagreement has stalled mediation on the issue.

Pine is doing the rounds promoting his directorial debut Poolman – which he also co-wrote and stars in.
Fans have noticed The Princess Diaries actor wearing some quirky outfits lately.
Pine revealed 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.

Recently, Pine opened up about what it was like to grow up with actors as parents. Both his dad Robert, who starred on CHiPs, and his mom Gwynne were working actors for a time.
‘Going into the ’80s it got rougher and rougher,’ Chris told People. ‘My dad, the work got sparser and sparser, and then the real estate crash in ’87 or ’88 pretty much wiped my family out.
‘Then it was some really rough years, and then my mom 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 at Antioch,’ he explained.
He also explained that his mom worked multiple jobs when he was a kid to make ends meet.

‘They put 2 kids through college and private school, put my mother through school, paid off their debts,” Chris said.
“I have a deep understanding of how very quickly it can go, how very good it can be, and how very quickly people are not returning your phone calls,” he said.
‘The kind of deep respect I have for my father now, 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 a strength and a humility. I don’t know if I would have that similar strength.’
