The death of Jane Birkin was announced this Sunday, July 16, 2023. As revealed by Le Parisien, 76-year-old actress’ body was found dead at his Parisian home. The day after the announcement of his death, his two daughters Charlotte Gainsbourg and Lou Doillon spoke via a press release relayed on Twitter. “Jane Birkin passed away after 16 years of a fierce battle with illness, since her stroke in September 2021, her family and the wonderful caregivers have been by her side night and day” they wrote.
“For a few days, she had been walking again, was motivated to reschedule her Olympia and had decided to regain her independence. This first evening alone, will have been the last. She had decided it” can we then read. Shortly after sharing these few words, they also made it clear that the last sentence of their press release has no innuendo…
And the tributes continue to rain on social networks and on the small screen. If Brigitte Bardot and Françoise Hardy reacted quickly, her friend Josiane Balasko also made a statement at the microphone of BFMTV. “Jane is really for me someone who represents tenderness and benevolence. She was an extremely caring person. I knew she was sick, I thought she was better and that she was going to start touring again. , and it is true that there I learned of his disappearance” she asserted.
It is true that Jane Birkin was sick and had even been forced to stop her concert tour, a few days before his death. In March 2023, Jane Birkin had returned to the scene of the Enfoirés, she who had not participated in the show since 1997. There already, the viewers had been able to notice that she seemed weakened. “Jane Birkin! What emotion […] it is too difficult to see her so diminished.“, “It makes me [de la] sadness to see how Jane Birkin changed after her stroke” could we then read on Twitter.
It is despite all this moment that Mimie Mathy has decided to share to pay tribute to Jane Birkin. Also on Twitter, the actress of “Josephine, guardian angel” has indeed published a photo of her and Jane Birkin, taken behind the scenes of the Enfoirés. “It was during Les Enfoirés 2023. A moment of sharing with this exquisite Jane. A very strong thought to Charlotte Gainsbourg, Lou Doillon and her grandchildren” she commented in the caption.
