Assala Nasri’s Jewelry Worth Millions of Dollars Stolen in the United States
Syrian singer Assala Nasri has revealed that her jewelry was stolen during her tour of the United States. She expressed deep sadness over the loss of pieces with great sentimental value, describing the experience as “difficult and painful.”
In a post on X, Assala said she discovered her jewelry case was missing after returning to her hotel following a concert in Detroit. The performance came after two shows in Los Angeles and New Jersey.
She said she arrived at the hotel exhausted after the concert and went to bed, only to find the next morning that the entire case had disappeared. Police came to the scene, she added, but as of the time she wrote her post, they had found no information about the incident, despite nearly a week having passed.
Assala emphasized that the loss was not merely financial. The jewelry included pieces she had acquired after years of work and waiting, as well as items bearing her father’s name and photograph. It also included gifts and keepsakes from her husband, children and close friends, along with pieces she had bought for herself to celebrate artistic achievements, albums and songs.
She said what hurt most was that the pieces were tied to important milestones and irreplaceable memories. Assala added that she had not wanted to make the incident public, fearing it might affect the atmosphere of her U.S. tour, whose success, she said, had exceeded her expectations.
Despite the ordeal, Assala said she was determined to move on and continue her artistic work. She announced that she was looking forward to meeting her fans in Dubai at an event titled “The UAE Loves Syria.” She added that she was eager to sing and celebrate with her audience, whom she described as “more precious than all the treasures in the world.”
Assala concluded her U.S. tour with a concert in Detroit on October 31, 2026, following performances in Los Angeles and New Jersey.
