With a heavy heart, Anouchka Delon spoke yesterday for the first time in public since the death of her father, who passed away on August 18 at the age of 88. The young woman shared two photos on Instagram revealing some of her last tender moments with the actor before his death.
In the first photo, we see her crouching, hugging her father’s arm during what appears to be the birthday party of her son Lino, born in 2020 from her union with actor Julien Dereims. Touched, the young woman smiles, while her father observes his grandson’s birthday cake with a half-smile. In the second photo, father and daughter shake hands.
“Daddy, I love you, daddy”
In the caption of the post, Anouchka Delon let slip her pain and her love: “I will keep you in my heart. To make my fear fly away. Above all, don’t say anything, don’t say anything, I am too good… here… I love you, you know, you alone, you know. I will never… never be able to live without you. I love you, and you? Dad, I love you, dad.”
The announcement of Alain Delon’s death has led to a flood of tributes in France and abroad from many stars and those close to the actor. His three children, whose troubles over the actor’s health and end of life have made headlines in recent months, finally found themselves in mourning and for the star’s private funeral last weekend.
“From up there I know he sees”
The eldest of the siblings, Anthony Delon, took to social media last week, declaring: “RIP Dad. The child never forgets, because he lives on in us until our last breath,” alongside a series of photos of his father.
The same day, the youngest of the clan, Alain-Fabien Delon, touched the fans gathered in front of the actor’s Douchy residence, where he was buried, one wonders. The young man thanked the crowds in his Instagram stories: “From up there I know he sees. Thank you. From the bottom of my heart.” So all that was missing was their sister, whose message aroused the sympathy of many Internet users.
