Celine Dion suffers another tragedy as her niece Brigitte dies in fatal car accident

It’s a terrible tragedy.

Recently it was revealed that Brigitte Dion, the niece of iconic singer Celine Dion, was involved in a fatal car accident.

The daughter was of Celine’s older brother Clément died in a head-on collision which occurred in the Canadian town on Saint-Thomas, Quebec on the evening of 28th December 2023 as the Journal de Montréal reported.

A vehicle was travelling in the wrong direction at approximately 18:15 that night, and struck Brigitte’s car. She was just 51 years old.

The news was only announced recently, with Brigitte’s daughter Kim Cantin Dion posting on Facebook to confirm the loss of her beloved mother.

“I can’t believe what I’m doing… the words… the pictures… I’m confused mom,” the caption says alongside a carousel of photos of Brigitte.

“Look how beautiful my mommy is. Cause you were my mom all to me. Just mine.”

Kim’s heartfelt post continues: “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.”

Celine has yet to make a public announcement about the death of her niece, amid her own private battle with disease.

It’s yet another tragedy in Celine’s life in recent years, having lost both her husband Rene Angelil and her brother Daniel Dion in the same month, after they both succumbed to cancer in January 2016.

Her brother-in-law Guy Poirier also lost his battle with cancer in August 2016. She lost her father Adhémar Dion in 2003, who was 80 at the time of his death
