Following Loana’s passing a few days ago, details concerning the organization of her funeral have been revealed: two close relatives will handle all the preparations.
The tragic loss of the former reality TV icon continues to deeply affect the public. Found lifeless on March 25th at her home in Nice, the star leaves behind grieving but determined loved ones who are committed to giving her a dignified farewell. An unexpected mobilization has been put in place to orchestrate this final ceremony.
A Gesture of Solidarity
Loana’s financial struggles did not allow her to cover the costs of her own burial. Fortunately, the “Loft Story” family quickly stepped up. Producer Alexia Laroche-Joubert and former contestant Steevy Boulay made the decision to cover all the expenses.
During the TBT9 show on W9, commentator Gilles Verdez revealed the cost of this ceremony: “The ceremony will cost just under 4,000 euros“. Although the deceased’s mother, Violette, oversees the operations, she relies on this unwavering support. “It is indeed Alexia who is taking care of the funeral arrangements along with Steevy Boulay. Both of them are currently organizing everything“, stated host Christine Bravo.
The Funeral Program: Balancing Public Mourning and Privacy
The long-awaited tribute will take place on Saturday, April 4, 2026 in Nice, the city where she resided. To accommodate the numerous admirers wishing to pay their respects, a public mass has been scheduled. Her friend Sylvie Ortega unveiled the day’s events on her Instagram account: “A mass will be held in the church of Nice open to the public. So that everyone can come and pay their final respects“. Following this religious service, the family will withdraw to bid their final farewells, as “the cremation will take place in the utmost privacy“, confirmed the same source.
A Life Marked by Poverty and Isolation
This tragedy sheds light on the deep distress that characterized the 48-year-old icon’s daily life. It turns out Alexia Laroche-Joubert had been working behind the scenes to protect her. “The apartment in which she died in Nice is the one that has been rented to her for the past two or three years. Otherwise, she would have been on the streets“, revealed the producer to Paris Match. An appalling loneliness, illustrated by the discovery of her loyal dog Titi’s lifeless body, lying by her side, her last true companion.
Autopsy Findings: Hypothesis of an Accidental Fall
The star’s body was returned to her loved ones on March 31, 2026, marking the end of the initial forensic examinations. The involvement of a third party has been ruled out by investigators. The public prosecutor’s statement from Nice highlights a “superficial scalp wound” as well as marks “consistent with the hypothesis of a fall to the ground“.
Further toxicological analyses are awaited to determine if a sudden medical emergency caused this tragic accident.
