In a scene straight out of a heartbreaking movie, global superstar Shakira was seen in tears after her father, William Mebarak, reportedly collapsed at their family home in Barcelona late Sunday night. Witnesses say the Colombian icon screamed for help as medics rushed to the scene — and for a few terrifying minutes, everyone feared the worst.

According to exclusive sources close to the singer, the 47-year-old star had just returned home after a private recording session when the unthinkable happened. Her father, who had been spending the evening with her and the children, suddenly lost consciousness. Shakira, visibly panicked, reportedly called for emergency assistance while holding her father’s hand and whispering, “Please don’t leave me, Papá… not now.”

Paramedics arrived within minutes and managed to stabilize him before transporting him to a nearby hospital. But those few minutes, sources say, felt like an eternity for the singer, who has always described her father as her “greatest hero” and “the man who taught me everything about love and resilience.”

An emotional insider revealed, “Shakira completely broke down. She thought she had lost him. She kept crying and repeating, ‘I can’t do this again, not after everything.’”

That haunting sentence left fans speculating that the emotional storm comes on top of the already turbulent years Shakira has endured — from her painful breakup with Gerard Piqué to her legal battles and intense media scrutiny.

Observers say that this terrifying moment has shaken her deeply. Shakira was reportedly seen leaving the hospital early Monday morning, wearing dark glasses and visibly emotional. When asked by reporters about her father’s condition, she stopped briefly and said with a trembling voice, “He’s strong… like always. But I was so scared.”

Fans around the world immediately flooded social media with messages of support. The hashtag #PrayForShakira began trending within an hour, as millions of fans expressed their relief that Mr. Mebarak is recovering. One user wrote, “Shakira doesn’t deserve any more pain — please let her dad be okay.” Another added, “She’s always smiling, but you can tell she’s been through too much.”

What makes this moment even more poignant is Shakira’s deep connection with her father. For years, she has spoken about how his love and guidance shaped her life and career. In interviews, she often recalled how he supported her when no one believed in her dreams — and how she promised to take care of him in his later years.

Insiders claim that after the incident, Shakira has cleared her schedule to stay by her father’s side. “She’s refusing to leave the hospital,” one close friend said. “She just wants to hold his hand, talk to him, and make sure he wakes up every morning seeing her face.”

Though the family has remained silent about the specific cause of his collapse, speculation continues to swirl online. Some tabloids claim exhaustion and stress might be to blame, while others insist it was a sudden health scare. Either way, this episode has once again reminded the world that even the strongest stars can be crushed by the fragility of life.

For now, Shakira’s fans are simply praying for one thing — that her father fully recovers and that she finds peace in the middle of the emotional chaos surrounding her.

As one Spanish columnist wrote poignantly:

“Shakira has danced through storms, sung through heartbreak, and smiled through tears. But the moment her father fell, the whole world saw that behind the fame, she is just a daughter — terrified of losing the man who has always been her anchor.”

And indeed, for Shakira, that moment — when she thought she lost him — may be the most human, heartbreaking song she’s ever lived.
