The family of 15-year-old Aliki Kallergi, who tragically lost her life in the deadly fire at a bar in Crans-Montana, chose a deeply symbolic way to honor her memory by naming a star after her.
In a highly emotional post on social media, Aliki’s brother shared the family’s tribute, explaining that they dedicated a star to her name on the exact date of her death. The gesture moved many, highlighting the lasting impact of the young girl’s loss.
On his personal Instagram account, he posted a star-naming certificate, which shows that the star was officially registered on January 1, 2026, complete with specific astronomical coordinates, and now bears the name “Aliki.”

The family’s decision serves as a powerful symbol of remembrance and love, coming just days after the tragic incident in Crans-Montana. As many commented online, it is a way to ensure that her name “will shine forever.”
It is noted that this is a service offered by a private organization, allowing individuals—against a fee—to symbolically dedicate a star to a loved one. The cost of such a dedication typically starts at around 30 euros.
