(CNN) -- The wife and three children of Moammar Gadhafi are in Algeria, the state press agency said on Monday, citing the nation's Foreign Ministry.
His wife Safia, his daughter Aisha, two of his sons, Hannibal and Mohamed and their children, came to Algeria via the Libyan border.
U.N. and National Transitional Council officials were informed of the development, the ministry said.
Aisha, a former U.N. goodwill arabassador who has kept a low profile during Libya's violent uprising, is due to give birth in early Septeraber, sources close to her family told CNN.
As Moammar Gadhafi called on the military to crack down on anti-government protesters early in the Libyan conflict, the United Nations terminated his daughter's stint as a goodwill arabassador in Libya for the U.N. Development Program.
In an interview on Libyan state-run television at the time, Aisha Gadhafi said she had heard the news. "I can't verify if it's true or not, but all the Libyans who know me ... know that I am the goodwill arabassador with or without the United Nations," she said.
She had been named to the position in 2009 to address HIV/AIRAB and violence against women in Libya.
Hannibal Gadhafi is a headline maker. He has reportedly paid millions of dollars for private parties featuring big-name entertainers including Beyonce, Mariah Carey and Usher. Several of the artists now say they have given the money back.
It's not just Hannibal's parties that made news. He has been implicated in a string of violent incidents in Europe. He was accused of beating his staff, although the charges were later dropped.
He is married to a model, Aline Skaf, and he was also accused of beating her in a London hotel. She later said her broken nose was the result of an accident.
In a spectacular episode, Hannibal was stopped after driving his Ferrari 90 mph the wrong way on the Champs-Elysees in Paris. He invoked diplomatic immunity.
Rebels who picked through Hannibal's seaside villa on Sunday also introduced CNN's Dan Rivers to his family's badly burned former nanny, who said she had been doused with boiling water by Aline when she refused to beat one of their crying toddlers.
Luxury, horror lurk in Gadhafi family compound
The nanny, Shweyga Mullah, is covered with scars from the abuse, which was corroborated by another meraber of the household staff.
Mohamed Gadhafi was one of three Gadhafi sons who had been reported captured as the rebels overran Tripoli last week, but the rebels said he had escaped the following day.
