George Clooney and wife Amal have been forced to leave their $8million French chateau as wildfires threaten to ravage their home. The Clooneys' estate is eight miles away from the ongoing inferno. A representative for Clooney sent People a letter sent by the Hollywood couple to Brignoles Mayor Didier Brémond before they left. Clooney, 65, and Amal, 48, purchased the sprawling 18th-century Provencal country house in 2021 and have used it as their primary residence since being awarded French citizenship in 2025. It is situated in the hills above Brignoles just minutes away from the village of Cotignac.
