PARIS - Angelina Jolie has left the building, and so have the twins.
The Fondation Lenval hospital in Nice says in a statement that the Hollywood superstar and her newborn twins left the French Riviera hospital where she gave birth a week ago, early Saturday morning.
The statement said Jolie and her babies, Knox Leon and Vivienne Marcheline Jolie-Pitt are doing very well. 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 5.03 pounds and the Vivienne Marcheline 5 pounds.
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 $11 million for exclusive rights to the first photos of the Jolie-Pitt twins and that the proceeds will go to charity.
