MC Nguyen Cao Ky Duyen's mother passed away in the US
Ms. Dang Tuyet Mai - a former beauty of Saigon - passed away on December 21 (local time) due to lung cancer, at the age of 75.
Mr. Bui Xuan Hien - Mrs. Dang Tuyet Mai's husband said that before she passed away, his wife had difficulty breathing and was taken by her family to Hoag Hospital, Newport Beach, California for treatment. However, she did not survive. She had already suffered from lung cancer.
According to singer Thanh Ha, MC Ky Duyen did not get to see her mother when she passed away because she returned to Vietnam to take care of business. "Poor Ky Duyen. In the morning, Duyen was still talking and laughing happily while opening the restaurant. In the evening, when she got home, she cried and took her luggage to the airport to be with her mother. But she passed away before she could see her only daughter for the last time," the overseas singer shared.
