Pitt VS Paparazi

Los Angeles - Lawyers for Brad Pitt on Thursday threatened legal action against anyone recent publication of photographs they say were taken by paparazzi of the actor and his newly expanded family in his French estate.

The lawyers did not say that family members were in the pictures.

Pitt and actress Angelina Jolie, the mother of his children, have sold the exclusive rights image for the first pictures of their newborn twins to a U.S. publication $ 11 million. The money would go to charity.

The disclaimer came a week after Jolie, left the hospital in Nice with twins Vivienne Marcheline Knox and Leon, born on July 12. The family has rented a villa in the vicinity of Provence.

Pitt's lawyer, Yael Holtkamp, said that taking photos was a "malicious violation" of the actor's privacy rights under both French and California law.
