The hit series "Emily in Paris" is mourning the unexpected loss of an assistant director, 47-year-old Diego Borella, who passed away during filming in Venice for its fifth season. Reports state that medics were rushed to the Hotel Danieli on a Thursday evening but were unable to save him after he collapsed while preparing for a scene with colleagues.
A spokesperson for Paramount Television Studios expressed deep sadness over Borella's sudden passing, emphasizing the heartache felt by the production family. The show’s medical team attempted to assist him, but he tragically died at the scene.
In the wake of this unforeseen tragedy, filming was temporarily put on hold. The series, known for its romantic comedy charm, features Lily Collins as Emily Cooper navigating her life in Paris. Following its debut during the pandemic in 2020, "Emily in Paris" quickly became a popular favorite, making the news of Borella's death even more poignant. Fans can expect the fifth season to air later this year, as the team continues to honor his memory during this difficult time.
