Paris - Angelina Jolie has left the building. Oh, and so have the twins.
Early on Saturday morning, the Hollywood superstar and her newborn twins left the French Riviera hospital where she gave birth a week ago, the hospital said in a statement.
"The mother and her babies are doing very well," reported the Fondation Lenval hospital, located in the southern Mediterranean city of Nice.
The star left early on Saturday morning along with the twins, Knox Leon and Vivienne Marcheline Jolie-Pitt. It was not immediately clear if the twins' father, actor Brad Pitt, was with them.
Jolie checked into the hospital on July 2 and delivered the babies by Cesarian section ten days later. Knox Leon weighed 2.28kg and the Vivienne Marcheline 2.27kg
In its statement, the Fondation Lenval thanked the Jolie-Pitts for choosing its hospital. It also thanked the hospital staff "for the attention and care they paid to the family" and the "journalists around the hospital who did their best to respect their privacy."
The Nice-Matin newspaper has reported that an unnamed U.S. publication has paid $11m for exclusive rights to the first photos of the Jolie-Pitt twins and that the proceeds will go to charity.
