A place full of memories… Tuesday, December 5, 2017, Johnny Hallyday took his last breath in his home in Marnes-la-Coquette, at the age of 74. Following the death of her husband, Laeticia Hallyday sold her villa in Pacific Palisades in order to buy a more modest one. Although the singer never lived there, his presence was everywhere. Alas, the fire raging in California took everything in its path and the house was devoured by the flames.

I watched our house go up in flames, helpless as the flames took everything away. This video haunts my heart. It wasn't just a house… It was our refuge, our rebirth after the chaos of grief”.

Laeticia Hallyday: “This house was our refuge in the chaos of grief”

In shock, Johnny Hallyday's widow then shared: “It was between these walls that we healed our wounds, that we learned to live with absence, to rebuild days lit by love despite the shadow of loss. It helped us get back up, to rebuild ourselves after the unimaginable absence of my husband. This house was our refuge in the chaos of mourning, our anchor when everything seemed to collapse. Everything is gone… and with it, a part of my soul. Grief is endless”.

According to Le Parisien, some objects that belonged to Johnny Hallyday are however safe. “All the objects that had been removed from the property and repatriated for the 'Johnny Hallyday' exhibition in 2023 and 2024 in Brussels and then Paris, including his splendid blue AC Cobra sports car, are still kept in France. And have therefore been miraculously saved“, they assured. Nevertheless, Laeticia Hallyday will never again see certain objects having belonged à her late husband.

I feel like I have lost a part of my soul, as if a part of me had flown away with the flames”. Friday, January 10, 2025, in the columns from the Parisian, his father, André Boudou, had indicated: “This is the second death of Johnny, what happened. I have rarely heard my daughter scream at this point of pain when I had her Wednesday night on the phone”.

Émoved, it was by revealing what was in this house that André Boudou had added : “Johnny was everywhere. In the living room, the garage, the office on the ground floor. She had recreated her office in Marnes-la-Coquette with her cowboy hats, an Indian chief's headdress, a motorcycle helmet…” .
