Celine Dion hit with tragedy as family member dies in car crash

Brigitte’s daughter, Kim Cantin Dion, took to Facebook to confirm her mother’s tragic death alongside multiple photos.

Her message included: ‘I can’t believe what I’m doing… the words… the pictures… I’m confused mom. Look how beautiful my mommy is. Cause you were my mom all to me. Just mine.’

The post added: ‘My mom was a little tired, but that wasn’t the reason she left. My mom wants us to remember the beautiful dynamite bomb she was.

‘Remember the bridge that makes sparks. Talk about my mom often. Make her live again, my mom. You’re still there mom. But otherwise. I love you mom.’

It’s been a difficult time for Celine, who shared her stiff person syndrome diagnosis – a rare neurological disease which causes severe spasms – in December 2022.

She also lost both her husband Rene Angelil, 73, and her brother, Daniel Dion, 59, in January 2016 after they both battled cancer.

Celine’s brother-in-law, Guy Poirier, then died in August 2016 after battling cancer, before she lost her dad, Adhémar Dion, in 2003 at age 80.

The latest tragedy comes just over a year after Celine opened up about her stiff person syndrome diagnosis.

Speaking in a video at the time, she said: ‘Recently I’ve been diagnosed with a very rare neurological disorder called stiff-person syndrome which affects something like one in a million people.
