Angelina Jolie and her two new babies have checked out of the hospital in the south of France in which she gave birth.
The twins were born at the Lenval hospital in Nice last weekend with Jolie's partner Brad Pitt by her side.
And a statement on the hospital website said the 33-year-old and the new additions to the Jolie-Pitt family had left the clinic on Saturday morning.
"The mother and her babies are doing very well," it said.
Jolie gave birth to Knox Leon and Vivienne Marcheline by caesarean section last weekend, with her obstetrician Dr Michael Sussman explaining he felt pressure during the birth due to the actress' fame.
However, he added: "The delivery was very emotional and exceptional as Ms Jolie is a superstar.
"Jolie and Pitt were always laughing and having a good time together, even during the birth operation.
"We had an excellent rapport. She is so, so nice and never complained about anything."
Jolie and partner Pitt are already parents to four children together: adopted children Maddox, six, four-year-old Pax Thien and Zahara, three, as well as biological daughter Shiloh, 21 months.
Picture agencies are rumoured to be in the midst of a bidding war for the rights to official photographs of the twins, with some commentators predicting a £10 million fee for the snaps.
