Clooneys Evacuate French Home Amid Wildfire Crisis
30 Jul
Summary
- Clooneys evacuated their French farmhouse due to raging wildfires.
- They expressed commitment to rebuilding their village.
- Wildfires have forced over 3,000 evacuations in the region.
George and Amal Clooney were compelled to evacuate their residence in Brignoles, France, as wildfires intensified in the region.
The couple, who have resided in their 18th-century farmhouse in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur since 2021, expressed their solidarity with the community in a letter to the local mayor.
They conveyed their hope for the safety of the villagers and pledged to support Brignoles in its recovery efforts, emphasizing their deep affection for the area and its residents.
This evacuation occurs amidst a severe heatwave that has exacerbated wildfires across Europe. France, Greece, Italy, and Spain have all experienced extensive evacuations.
In the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region alone, over 3,000 individuals have been displaced. French President Emmanuel Macron has mobilized extensive civil and military resources to combat the fires.
President Macron extended solidarity to other affected nations, including Spain, Italy, and Greece, vowing to support rebuilding efforts.
The Clooneys' decision to leave their French property follows their earlier move to France to provide their children with a less Hollywood-centric upbringing. They also hold French citizenship, which they and their twins received in December 2025.
