George and Amal Clooney flee French home due to fires
George and Amal Clooney have pledged to do whatever they can to help their adopted French community recover after fires forced them from their luxury property.
Hollywood actor George Clooney and his British wife Amal have fled their luxury home in Brignoles as a result of the wildfires blazing in the southern French region.
Clooney’s publicist shared with Reuters a letter that the actor sent to Didier Bremond, the mayor of Brignoles, expressing his concerns as many regions of France battle wildfires.
“Dear Didier. At this point we have no idea whether our beautiful home makes it through this terrible moment and as we evacuate Brignoles we want to emphasise two things,” Clooney wrote.

The movie star and human rights lawyer, along with their nine-year-old twins, Alexander and Ella, obtained French citizenship in 2025.
The Clooneys bought their Brignoles home on a vineyard in the Provence-Alpes-Cote d’Azur region in 2021 when it had an estimated value of about 9 million euros ($15 million).
