French President Emmanuel Macron on Sunday expressed his solidarity with Tamara Tayah, whose father Tarek Tayah was killed this week in a helicopter crash in northern Italy.

Here's what we know: 

    • Macron had met the girl in Lebanon during his trip to the country in the aftermath of the Aug. 4, 2020 Beirut port explosion, in which her mother, Hala Tayah, had been killed. Tamara Tayah gave the French president a brooch in the shape of Lebanon that her mother had designed. 

    • "If I got involved, if I remained mobilized for Lebanon and that I remain fully mobilized today, it is for Tamara and the hope that she embodies, that of Lebanese youth," Macron wrote on his Facebook account. "On Sept. 1, 2020 in Beirut, I heard many moving testimonies. There is one that particularly touched me, it is that of little Tamara," he continued.

    • "In an accident in Italy, Tamara lost her dad. I want to tell her that I share her pain and that my thoughts are with her in this terrible ordeal. More than ever with all my heart with her," he concluded.

    • On Saturday, Italian news agency ANSA reported that none of the seven passengers in the helicopter that crashed on Mount Cusna survived. Rescuers deployed to the scene found the lifeless bodies of the Italian pilot and six passengers, including Lebanese citizens Chadi Kreidi and Tarek Tayah, who were on a business trip to Italy, and four Turks.
