Clooneys evacuate French home as southern Europe wildfires spread

  • George and Amal Clooney have evacuated their home in Brignoles, France, as ongoing wildfires continue to sweep across parts of southern Europe.
  • As first reported by People , they wrote in a letter to the town's mayor: “At this point we have no idea whether our beautiful home makes it through this terrible moment.”
  • The couple added: “As we evacuate Brignoles we want to emphasise two things, first we hope you and the people of our city are safe and second that 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.”
  • Their evacuation is part of a wider crisis, with thousands displaced across southern Europe, including France, Spain, and Greece, due to wildfires .
  • The Clooneys made the French countryside their primary residence after moving there from the US last year and were granted French citizenship in 2025.
