Clooneys evacuate France home as wildfire nears

George and Amal Clooney evacuated their home in Brignoles, southeastern France, as a wildfire burned nearby, officials said Thursday. The fire, which started Wednesday, scorched about 100 hectares (247 acres) and prompted the evacuation of 700 residents. The Clooneys, who have 9-year-old twins, expressed uncertainty about their home's fate but pledged to help rebuild their community. The blaze was brought under control, and residents were allowed to return Thursday.
