George Clooney and his family had to leave their home in southeastern France due to a nearby wildfire, according to his agent. In a letter to the mayor of Brignoles, Clooney expressed concern for the safety of the town’s residents and pledged to help the community recover. The fire, which started on Wednesday, burned about 247 acres but was smaller than another large fire in the Bordeaux region. Around 700 people were evacuated but returned home after the fire was controlled. The Clooneys, who became French citizens in December, bought their estate in 2021 and consider it their primary residence.
