George and Amal Clooney have evacuated their home in Brignoles in the South of France after a wildfire swept through the area, forcing hundreds of residents to flee.

In a letter addressed to Brignoles Mayor Didier Brémond, the couple said they did not know whether their home — a hilltop estate called Domaine du Canadel — would survive the blaze but pledged to help rebuild the community.
