\n\tGeorge and Amal Clooney have evacuated their home in Brignoles in the South of France after a wildfire swept through the area, forcing hundreds of residents to flee.<\/p>\n

\n\tIn a letter addressed to Brignoles Mayor Didier Br\u00e9mond, the couple said they did not know whether their home \u2014 a hilltop estate called Domaine du Canadel \u2014 would survive the blaze but pledged to help rebuild the community.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cWe do not know whether our beautiful home will survive this terrible ordeal,\u201d the Clooneys wrote. \u201cAs we evacuate Brignoles, we want to emphasize two things: We hope that you and the residents are safe. Amal and I are determined to ensure that, whatever happens to our village, we remain fully part of this community and contribute to its rebuilding. We love Brignoles and the friends we have there.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThe fire burned through around 130 hectares near Brignoles between Wednesday and Thursday, prompting the evacuation of roughly 600 residents and injuring four firefighters,\u201d according to\u00a0Le Figaro. The blaze was brought under control thanks to the deployment of aerial firefighting aircraft alongside 270 firefighters and 70 vehicles, per the AFP. <\/p>\n

\n\tFirefighters remained on the ground Thursday morning working to secure the perimeter and extinguish hotspots before temperatures rise and southerly winds strengthen later in the day,\u00a0Le Figaro\u00a0reported, citing the prefecture of Var, where Brignoles is located. <\/p>\n

\n\tEarlier this year, Clooney\u00a0talked to\u00a0Esquire magazine\u00a0about his decision to move his family out of Hollywood after the birth of his twins, Alexander and Ella. <\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cYeah, we\u2019re very lucky. You know, we live on a farm in France,\u201d Clooney said. \u201cA good portion of my life growing up was on a farm, and as a kid I hated the whole idea of it. But now, for them, it\u2019s like \u2014 they\u2019re not on their iPads, you know? They have dinner with grown-ups and have to take their dishes in. They have a much better life.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThe Oscar winner and his family became French citizens in late December 2025, a move that sparked some controversy. A junior deputy to the interior minister, Marie-Pierre Vedrenne, suggested that Clooney had been granted French citizenship due to his fame rather than on merit, and argued \u201cthis is not the right message to send.\u201d\u00a0Br\u00e9mond, however, has welcomed the family\u2019s presence in the region. \u201cI have dinner with them; they\u2019re friends, not \u201ccelebrities.\u201d We can only be happy that they\u2019ve chosen to live here,\u201d the mayor told\u00a0\u201cLe Figaro\u201d\u00a0earlier this year.<\/p>\n
