Diego Borella, an assistant director on Netflix’s “Emily in Paris,” died after collapsing suddenly while filming Season 5 in Italy on Thursday. He was 47.
“We are deeply saddened to confirm the sudden passing of a member of the ‘Emily in Paris’ production family,” a Paramount Television Studios spokesperson said in a statement to Variety. “Our hearts go out to the individual’s family and loved ones during this incredibly difficult time.”
According to local Italian news outlets, Borella collapsed around 7:00 p.m. Thursday while the show was filming in Venice. The crew was preparing for a scene inside the Hotel Danieli. Medics on set tried to revive Borella, but he was pronounced dead at the scene due to a “sudden heart attack,” per a local outlet.
