The year 2026 seems to be marked by a true black series for French artists. Just as the passing of Nathalie Baye has been announced, actress Nadia Farès also passed away at the age of 57 on Friday, April 17, 2026. A week earlier, on April 11, she was found unconscious at the bottom of the Blanche sports complex pool in Paris. Placed in an artificial coma at the Pitié-Salpêtrière hospital, her condition unfortunately deteriorated rapidly. Just a few days ago, Le Parisien reported that she was in an “extremely serious” condition, with doctors being very reserved about her progress. The terrible news was finally announced by her two daughters to AFP, stating, “France loses a great artist, but for us, it is above all a mother that we have lost.” According to initial reports, the actress’s death was linked to medical causes.

Nadia Farès is no more, the emotion of her loved ones

Since the heartbreaking tribute shared by Nadia Farès’ daughter on Instagram, messages have been pouring in on social media, particularly from numerous celebrities. Close friends and figures from the French cinema industry are speaking out to honor the memory of the actress, who passed away too soon and too abruptly. Among them, Laeticia Hallyday, very close to the actress, with whom she shared many moments, especially on vacation. On Instagram, Johnny Hallyday’s widow sent her a poignant message, accompanied by a photo where they appear complicit: “There are beings who cross our lives and never really leave us. So many years of memories, laughter, confidences, shared life… So many years of love, growing, standing up, standing together. My Nadia. How to accept that everything stops so abruptly… How to believe that you won’t be there anymore.”

Jean Dujardin and Michaël Youn shocked by her passing

On his side, Jean Dujardin, already affected by the loss of his close friend Bruno Salomone last month, is in shock. “It is incomprehensible @nadia_fares… Your talent, your smile, your kindness, your beauty… farewell my friend,” he emotionally wrote on Instagram. In the comments, many celebrities also expressed their sadness and support, especially recalling how the actress’s smile left a lasting impression on those around her. “What a sadness. That you leave like this. You who were strength, joy, and kindness. We were always considered on your side. Many of us are angry at destiny today. But unfortunately, it won’t change anything,” Michaël Youn reacted. “Rest in peace Nadia. We love you even if it’s too late to tell you. We are thinking of your daughters,” he also regretted. A passing that leaves a strong mark in memories.
