George and Amal Clooney were forced to flee their home in southern France earlier this week as raging wildfires continue to spread across Europe. The couple and their nine-year-old twins, Alexander and Ella, left their property in the village of Brignoles in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur region as fires threatened the area.
In a letter addressed to Brignoles Mayor Didier Brémond, Clooney revealed the family’s uncertainty about the fate of their home. “At this point we have no idea whether our beautiful home makes it through this terrible moment,” he wrote. The letter, shared by Clooney’s publicist, also emphasized the couple’s commitment to their adopted community. “Amal and I are committed to making sure that whatever happens to our village, we are part of this community and we’ll be part of making it whole,” Clooney added. “We love Brignoles and our friends who live there”.
The Clooneys purchased the €9 million estate in 2021 and made it their primary residence after being granted French citizenship in December 2025. They relocated to the countryside to escape Hollywood celebrity culture and provide their children with a more grounded upbringing.
The fires in France are nearly four times the size of Paris. Approximately 224,000 people have been evacuated in the Gironde region, with an additional 3,000 residents forced to leave their homes in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur region.
