Guy Laliberte, founder of Cirque du Soleil expressed his deepest sympathy for Guyard-Guillot and her family stating:

“I am heartbroken. I wish to extend my sincerest sympathies to the family. We are all completely devastated. We are reminded with great humility and respect how extraordinary our artists are each and every night. Our focus now is to support each other as a family.”
