The spouses, who made the Southeastern region of France their permanent home in 2021, issued a statement to the mayor of Brignoles after fleeing their home.

Per People, the letter reads, "Dear Didier, At this point we have no idea whether our beautiful home makes it through this terrible moment."

It continues, "As we evacuate Brignoles, we want to emphasise two things: 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."
