Shiloh chose to wear a powerful political jumper emblazoned with the words, "Einstein was a refugee", teamed with a collared shirt, trousers and comfy boots.The little girl walked side by side with her siblings and her mother, dressed all in black, as they made their way through LAX airport on Monday night.

Shiloh Jolie-Pitt made a style statement as she flew out of LA on Monday

Shiloh's sweater seems to suggest she will follow in the footsteps of humanitarian Angelina, who works tirelessly to bring attention to the plight of refugees. Last June, Shiloh accompanied her mum to visit a camp for Syrian refugees in southeastern Turkey, to mark World Refugee Day.She has also been photographed on the Cambodian set of Angelina's new film First They Killed My Father, which is based on Loung Ung's memoirs about the horrific regime of communist leader Pol Pot regime. Around two million people died due to executions, starvation, disease and forced labour during a four-year period, which is commonly referred to as the Cambodian Holocaust.

"It was just Brad and the twins doing the painting together," a source told People. "They were in the pottery café for a couple of hours and seemed to have a lovely time. They were very happy… Knox and Vivienne painted a few things and then Brad painted a few things himself. It was just a fun day out with dad.
