NICE, France, July 28 (UPI) -- Two photographers reportedly were arrested for trying to take unauthorized pictures of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt's newborn twins at their home in France.

"The two individuals were in full camouflaged gear and carried high-powered photographic equipment typically used by sophisticated paparazzi. When confronted by security guards on the Chateau Miraval property, the two individuals claimed they were just out on a hike," said a statement issued by Chateau Miraval to Usmagazine.com.

"Security then attempted to escort the individuals down the hill in order to wait for the local police. The same photographer then became violent, kicked one of the security guards, said he has Hepatitis C and bit another security guard. He then wiped blood from a cut onto the two security men repeatedly and continued to bite. The security personnel are now being checked at the hospital."

Usmagazine.com said the first official photos of Vivienne Marcheline and Knox Leon -- the celebrity couple's fifth and sixth children -- could possibly fetch up to $20 million from a media outlet that wants to publish them exclusively.
