Hollywood actor George Clooney and his British wife Amal have fled their luxury home in Brignoles as ‌a result of the wildfires blazing in the southern ‌French region.

Clooney's publicist shared with Reuters a letter that the actor sent to Didier Bremond, the mayor of Brignoles, expressing his concerns as many regions ‌of France ‌battle ⁠wildfires.

"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," Clooney wrote.

"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."

The movie star and human rights lawyer, along with their nine-year-old twins, Alexander and Ella, obtained French citizenship in 2025.

The Clooneys bought their Brignoles home on a vineyard in the Provence-Alpes-Cote d'Azur region in 2021 ​when it had an estimated value of about 9 million euros ($A15 million).
