Khaberni - The rumor of the death of the Syrian artist Samia Al-Jazaery, which circulated during the past hours, has caused a state of anxiety among the Arab audience, after it was widely shared across social media platforms, prompting followers to search for its source amid the absence of any official confirmation in the early hours.
The family of the artist Samia Al-Jazaery announced in media statements that circulated that what was shared about her death is completely untrue, affirming that the artist is well and in good health.

For her part, Taraf Al-Taqi, the niece of Samia Al-Jazaery, stated that her aunt is living a calm and normal life away from the spotlight currently, noting that the family was surprised by the spread of the rumor, which led her mother, the artist Sabah Al-Jazaery, to directly contact her sister to check on her, pointing out that this kind of news recurs from time to time and causes significant psychological distress to the family.
Taraf Al-Taqi also expressed the family's dismay at the recurrence of such rumors that target her aunt frequently, pointing out that the spread of inaccurate news causes moral harm to the artist and her relatives alike.
