The Egyptian artistic community has been deeply saddened by the death of Yasmine Seif Abu El-Naga, the only daughter of veteran actress Naglaa Fathy.
Yasmine had largely stayed away from the spotlight throughout her life, choosing to maintain a private lifestyle despite being the daughter of one of Egypt’s most recognizable actresses. Her passing therefore came as a painful shock to her family, friends and many members of the artistic community. 🖤
Among those who expressed their grief was screenwriter Tamer Habib, who shared a deeply personal message recalling his long-standing relationship with Yasmine.
🔹 Tamer Habib Remembers Yasmine
Tamer Habib reflected on the years he knew Yasmine, recalling their meetings from the time she was a university student until their final encounter.
He remembered her laughter and the warm connection they shared whenever they met, describing her smile as innocent, genuine and unchanged throughout the years.
His message went beyond a traditional condolence statement, instead offering a personal portrait of a woman remembered for her kindness and sincere personality. 💔
🔹 “A Painful and Shocking News”
Habib described Yasmine’s death as deeply painful and shocking, expressing his disbelief at losing someone he had known for many years.
He concluded his message by praying for Yasmine’s soul and asking for strength and patience for her mother Naglaa Fathy, her father Seif Abu El-Naga, her daughter and everyone who loved her.
His message came amid a wave of condolences from Egyptian and Arab celebrities who expressed their support for the grieving family. 🕊️
🔹 Yasmine Abu El-Naga’s Funeral
Yasmine’s funeral prayers were held at Omar Ibn Abdel Aziz Mosque in Heliopolis, following a delay in the funeral arrangements.
The delay was reportedly related to completing the necessary procedures for preparing the body before it was transported to the mosque.
Family members and close friends attended the funeral, which was held in a deeply emotional atmosphere before Yasmine was laid to rest in the family cemetery.
🔹 Who Was Yasmine Abu El-Naga?
Yasmine Seif Abu El-Naga was the only daughter of actress Naglaa Fathy and actor Seif Abu El-Naga.
Unlike many children of celebrities, Yasmine chose not to pursue an acting career or become part of the entertainment industry.
She also maintained a relatively private public profile and rarely appeared at major artistic events.
One of her most notable public appearances came during the El Gouna Film Festival in 2020, where she appeared alongside director Khodr Mohamed Khodr.
🔹 Naglaa Fathy and Her Daughter
Yasmine held an important place in the personal life of Naglaa Fathy, who gradually stepped away from the entertainment spotlight over the years.

The loss of her only daughter has therefore become an intensely personal tragedy, with fellow artists rallying around her and offering messages of support.

Following the announcement of Yasmine’s death, several prominent artists expressed their condolences, including Hind Sabri, Nabila Ebeid, Nadia El Gendy and Elham Shahin.

🔹 A Personal Loss Beyond the Entertainment Industry
Yasmine’s death has resonated beyond entertainment headlines because it revealed a deeply human side of Naglaa Fathy’s life.

The condolences also reflected the importance of standing beside families during moments of profound grief.
As messages of sympathy continue to reach Naglaa Fathy and her family, prayers remain focused on Yasmine Abu El-Naga and her loved ones.
