Brangelina Checks Out of Hospital

(andPOP) - Angelina Jolie and her one week old twins Knox Leon and Vivienne Marcheline left the Lenval hospital in Nice, France, early Saturday, reports E! News.

“Angelina left at 4 a.m. in a blacked-out ambulance,” a source tells the entertainment website. “And she's now back at Château Miraval with Brad, the kids, her brother, James Haven, and Bill and Jane Pitt, Brad's mom and dad.”

The new mom was hoping to leave the hospital via a helicopter from the roof, but the hospital only allows helicopter access on the roof in the event of a medical emergency, reports the source.

“Angelina and her security decided that if she left in the middle of the night, then there would be less risk of them being followed by a huge group of paparazzi on motorbikes,” the source said. “It was for her and the twins' safety.”

Early Saturday morning, the hospital issued the following statement on their website:

“Mrs. Angelina Jolie left the clinic Santa Maria of Fondation Lenval early in the morning, on July 19,” the message said. “The mother and her babies are doing very well.”
