George Clooney and Amal Clooney evacuate French estate as wildfires ravage the region

George Clooney and Amal Clooney were forced to evacuate their luxury home in Brignoles, France, this week as wildfires swept through the southeastern region. The Hollywood actor and his wife, an international human rights lawyer, purchased the estate in 2021 and have lived there with their nine-year-old twins, Alexander and Ella, since the French government awarded the family French citizenship in late 2022. In a letter to the local mayor, Didier Bremond, George Clooney expressed concern for the safety of the residents and committed the couple to helping rebuild the village. The fire, which broke out on Wednesday, burned approximately 130 hectares of vegetation before being brought under control. While the couple remains uncertain about the extent of damage to their home, they expressed their love for the community. The move to France was intended to provide a simpler, more wholesome life for their children away from the paparazzi and urban myopia.
