George and Amal Clooney have left their home in the south of France amid wildfires ravaging the region.
Actor Clooney, his human rights lawyer wife and their two children left their Brignoles property earlier this week.
He told the city’s mayor Didier Brémond in a letter: “We have no idea whether our beautiful home makes it through this terrible moment”.
Clooney added he and his wife were committed to help repairing their village after the fires “whatever happens”. The family bought their Brignoles home in 2021 and were all awarded French citizenship in December 2025.
The letter, which was shared with the BBC, said: “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, 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.
“We love Brignoles and our friends who live there.”
Wildfires have devastated areas of France and at 20:00 local time (18:00 GMT) on Wednesday the Préfet du Var announced an evacuation of some neighbourhoods after a fire started near Brignoles.
By 13:00 on Thursday those evacuated were allowed to return home but local officials still warned: “The weather, with high temperatures and the rise of the wind this afternoon, remains unfavourable and vigilance is advised.”
