Alain Delon’s daughter Anouchka visits sea of floral tributes outside late French star’s home as bitter row between family and his ex lover continues

Alain Delon’s daughter visited a sea of floral tribute outside the late star’s home as the bitter row between his ex-lover and the family continues.

Anouchka Delon greeted passers-by as she visited her late father’s home in Douchy, central France.

Mr Delon died aged 88 on August 18 following a battle with ill health. 

Hundreds of bouquets and messages were left at the front gates of the late actor’s property, La Brulerie.

It comes after Mr Delon’s ex lover accused his three children of ‘inhumanely’ blocking her from saying goodbye.

Himoni Rollin, 66, was living with the actor part time as his carer for some 17 years, but claimed that Anouchka along with her siblings Alain-Fabien and Anthony had refused to let her see him upon his death.

She told French newspaper Le Figaro: ‘We loved one another for 30 years. I lived with him for 17 and was separated from Alain unfairly, brutally and violently.

‘His children did not even allow me to say ”au revoir”. It’s inhuman.’ 

The pair first met while working on the 1992 film ‘The Return of Casanova’ in which Delon played the titular character and Rollin worked as an assistant director. 

She would later go on to care for Mr Delon in his later life. The actor described Rollin as his ‘Japanese companion’.

The French actor’s relationships with women were the subject of large controversy.

He denied accusations from his sons of domestic violence, although he admitted to slapping women during arguments.

His first marriage to Francine Canovas, also known as Nathalie Delon, in 1964, ended in divorce after just five years. The couple had one son together, Anthony.

Mr Delon also had a string of other relationships, including with the ‘love of his life’ German actor Romy Schneider, pop star Dalida and Rosalie Van Breemen, the latter with whom he had his last two children.

Mr Delon’s children had squabbled over his ill-health during his last few years.

Delon's performances in some of the greatest films of the 1960s and 70s were widely praised, his charisma on screen impossible to ignore

Anouchka claimed that Anthony, the eldest, was aggressively hassling his father about his mental state following a 2019 stroke.

In return, Anthony accused Anouchka of trying to hide the damning results of Delon’s cognitive tests from the rest of the family.

All three children filed a lawsuit against Rollin after she left Mr Delon’s home last July for a trip and stopped her from coming back.

Despite allegedly backing the legal action, Mr Delon also confirmed the pair’s relationship, contradicting his children’s claims, the Times reported.
