Actress-filmmaker Angelina Jolie has claimed that she feared for the safety of her "whole family" during her marriage to Hollywood star Brad Pitt, although she hopes they can "heal and be peaceful" in the future.

Jolie previously claimed that her former husband was verbally and physically abusive towards their children - Maddox, 20, Pax, 17, Zahara, 16, Shiloh, 15, and 13-year-old twins Knox and Vivienne - including an incident on a private plane involving eldest son Maddox, reports femalefirst.co.uk.
