The Arab world and Lebanon mourn the passing of the great Lebanese artist Ziad Rahbani, the son of Fairuz and Assi Rahbani. Many prominent artists expressed their heartfelt condolences on their social media accounts.

George Wassouf posted a photo with Ziad, commenting: "Ziad the genius has departed, Ziad the creative has left. Your works will remain immortal, and your great art will live on in the hearts and minds of generations. Deepest condolences to Fairuz, the mother, the Rahbani family, and all your fans, Ziad."

Majida El Roumi wrote: "A genius from my country has passed away. A salute to your creativity and the music of peace for your rebellious soul."

Sherihan said: "I mourn all art, creativity, Lebanon, and my heart. I pray for Fairuz, for her willpower, patience, strength, determination, art, creativity, and authenticity. Ziad Rahbani, a history that will never die."

Latifa, who collaborated on several projects with the late artist, tweeted: "I loved art and creativity through your work. Our loss is immense. I had hoped that everything would be fine, but God's will prevailed. Great sorrow for the dearest person in my life."

Assala expressed her condolences to Fairuz: "My dearest lady, residing in our hearts in the highest and most beautiful place. May God have mercy on your son, the great artist Ziad Rahbani, the son of glory and the creator of exquisite art. May God grant you patience for your precious heart and make these difficult days easier for you, my lady of the nation, my doctor, and my remedy for all my pains with your voice, your dignity, and your high status, our dearest. May God be with you, our mother who gave birth to our souls, O great one, O Fairuz."

Laila Eloui expressed her deep sorrow: "Sincere condolences to Fairuz... the mother, and the heart that surely feels great pain. May God give her and us patience in this separation."

Nancy Ajram wrote: "The creative never dies. It is very difficult to describe a person of the caliber of Ziad Rahbani and his ideas. Mercy to your soul and deepest condolences to the icon of art, Fairuz."

The most prominent eulogy came from Carmen Lebbos, who had previously announced her marriage to Ziad Rahbani verbally for 15 years. She bid him farewell by saying, commenting on a black photo: "Why like this? I feel like everything is gone, I feel like Lebanon is in mourning." The eulogy was accompanied by the melody of the song "I Have Confidence in You," sung by Fairuz and composed by the late artist.
