Wildfires force George Clooney’s family to evacuate their home in southern France

George and Amal Clooney evacuated their 18th century hilltop estate in Brignoles, southeastern France, due to fast-moving wildfires. The blaze forced local residents to leave so firefighters could protect the town. George Clooney reportedly sent a text message to Mayor Didier Bremond during the crisis. While the fire near Bordeaux has since been brought under control, the evacuation occurred overnight as France continued battling wildfires across the Provence region to save residential properties and infrastructure.
