She died on July 21, 2017, at Pampelonne beach in Ramatuelle near the city of Saint-Tropez, while trying to rescue two children caught in the Mediterranean when the water became dangerously turbulent. The children were rescued by lifeguards and survived, but Dufourmantelle could not be resuscitated. Dufourmantelle is survived by her partner Frédéric Boyer and three children. Her daughter is French singer-songwriter and composer, Clara Yse. Yse's debut EP, Le Monde S’Est Dédoublé, released in 2019, was written about Dufourmantelle's death. ==Honours==
