“It’s something that’s always been part of the family.
» On France Inter this Wednesday morning, Anouchka Delon was invited to react to the search carried out at her father's house in Douchy (Loiret) last week, during which the gendarmes seized more than 70 firearms and 3,000 rounds of ammunition.
The first investigations revealed that the actor, aged 88 and seriously ill, “did not have any authorization allowing him to possess a firearm”.
“It’s almost a way of life for my father, it’s his passion,” explained Alain Delon’s daughter.
“We grew up there.
It’s complicated to find your place as a child in a world like that,” she added.
In a recent interview with Elle, Anouchka Delon explained that she “always goes with her bodyguard” to the family property.
“I'm afraid that something will happen to me since all this unpacking,” she explained on France Inter, explaining that she received “death threats” targeting her and her son.
Anouchka Delon: "I've been going through personal hell since September. It's absurd, abject and very aggressive. I don't want to argue through the media, it's ridiculous: I'm ashamed to be here, facing to you."

Since December, Anouchka Delon has been in open conflict with her brothers, Anthony and Alain-Fabien, over their father's health.
The clan is tearing itself apart through the press, through declarations and threats of complaints.
“I’m going through personal hell,” said the actor’s daughter this Wednesday morning.
“It’s absurd, despicable and very aggressive.
I don’t want to argue through the media, it’s ridiculous: I’m ashamed to be here, in front of you,” she said.
“Let me die in peace”
Anouchka Delon assures that her father, placed under judicial protection since the end of January, has been following “in broad terms” the media coverage of his children for three months.
She says, for example, that she brought him the issue of Elle in which she gave an interview, "because I imagine that what I say is often distorted."

Weapons and ammunition found in Alain Delon's house
Asked about the silence of the movie star on this whole affair, Anouchka Delon affirms that “it’s not that he can’t” speak but “it’s that he doesn’t want to”.
“I think he wants at some point, in his life at 88, as he says:
to be left to die in peace
.
And what is happening is anything but letting him die in peace,” she lamented.
In 2019, Alain Delon declared that he did not want his children to tear each other apart like the Hallydays.
What’s happening at the Delons, “it’s worse,” said the actor’s daughter.
Those close to the singer “had the decency to tear each other apart, despite themselves, after Johnny’s death.
Maybe when their father left, they pretended, and we won't make it.
There was already a ditch that was dug but now it is gaping,” lamented Anouchka Delon.
