George and Amal Clooney evacuate French home due to wildfires

On July 30, 2026, actor George Clooney and his wife, human rights lawyer Amal Clooney, were forced to evacuate their residence in Brignoles, France. The decision was prompted by rapidly spreading wildfires in the region that posed an immediate threat to their property and safety.

In a letter addressed to the mayor of Brignoles, the actor confirmed that he, his wife, and their nine-year-old twins, Alexander and Ella, had safely left the premises. A representative for the couple also verified the incident to People magazine, noting that no injuries were reported among the family members. The evacuation highlights the ongoing danger faced by residents in the area as firefighters continue to battle the blaze.

While the family has safely departed, the situation remains a concern for the local community. Further updates regarding the status of the residence and the containment of the fires have not yet been provided by local authorities.
