Wanda Nara also showed her support: "There are no words. Cris, I embrace you very tightly. Rest in peace, Mila." Teresa Calandra expressed: "My God, what a tragedy."

Benjamín Vicuña, who in 2012 lost his daughter Blanca, the eldest daughter from his relationship with Carolina "Pampita" Ardohain, also shared a heartfelt message. "On a cold morning when the pain of one family is the pain of a people, of a community stunned by tragedy, we ask questions that will never have answers," wrote the Chilean actor, reflecting a grief he personally experienced.

The artistic community, so closely linked to the work and sensitivity of Cris Morena, felt this loss as their own. It was not only a family life cut short, but also a child who grew up under the influence of two generations of creators who shaped childhoods.

A new blow for a family marked by art and loss

Mila had turned 7 years old in February. She was the youngest in the Yankelevich family. Her death revived the memory of her aunt, Romina Yan, who died unexpectedly in 2010, at 36 years old.

This tragedy once again enveloped the family in immeasurable grief. The sensitivity of the artistic community reflected, once again, that television is not just an industry: it's also a network of affections, shared stories, and public mourning.
