Hundreds of thousands of people have been forced to evacuate as massive wildfires make their way through Europe. Among those evacuees are George and Amal Clooney and their 9-year-old twins, Alexander and Ella. The Clooneys live on a wine estate in Brignoles, a town in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur region of France. The couple shared the news of their evacuation in a letter to the mayor of Brignoles, Didier Brémond, which was then obtained by People and confirmed by a representative for the Clooneys.
