It is with heavy hearts that we share the news of Celine Dion's niece, Brigitte's passing. The 51-year-old was tragically killed in a car accident. This is another devastating loss for the 55-year-old singer, who has already experienced so much grief in recent years.
Brigitte, the daughter of Celine's older brother Clément Dion, was involved in a head-on collision while driving in Saint-Thomas, Quebec on the evening of December 28, 2023. According to reports from the Journal de Montréal, the accident occurred around 6:15 p.m. when another vehicle was traveling in the wrong direction.
The news of Brigitte's death was confirmed by her daughter, Kim Cantin Dion, on Facebook. Along with multiple photos, Kim shared a heartfelt message expressing her disbelief and confusion over her mother's sudden passing. She also shared how much her mother meant to her and asked for her memory to be kept alive.
Celine has yet to publicly comment on the tragedy, but our thoughts go out to her and her family during this difficult time. This is not the first time the Grammy-winning singer has faced loss. In December 2022, she revealed her diagnosis of stiff person syndrome, a rare neurological disease that causes severe spasms. She also lost her husband, Rene Angelil, and her brother, Daniel Dion, to cancer in January 2016. Her brother-in-law and father also passed away in the years following.
This latest tragedy comes just over a year after Celine shared her diagnosis with stiff person syndrome. In a video, she opened up about the rare condition and how it has affected her daily life. She expressed her hope for recovery and her commitment to focusing on her health.
The Agency has reached out to Celine's representatives for comment. We will continue to provide updates on this story as they become available.
