Halle Berry has decided to move to France after receiving extremely serious death threats from a stalker.

It was revealed earlier this week that the Monster's Ball actress had plans to move to Europe with her boyfriend Olivier Martinez and daughter Nahla. The three-year-old's father Gabriel Aubry was said to be furious with Halle's plans to move, believing that she was trying to stop him seeing Nahla.

However, law enforcements have revealed that Halle decided to pack her bags and leave after receiving death threats from a man who escaped from a mental institution earlier this week.

TMZ reports that the man contacted Halle threatening to "slit her throat."

The same man apparently made the same threat to Madonna in the past and was shot by her bodyguard in 1995 after trespassing her property.

Last month, Richard Franco - Halle's other stalker - was released from prison.
