Despite the tragic crash of the Egyptair flight MS804 on Thursday, Egyptian and Arab celebrities took to social media to show their solidarity with Egypt's flagship airline. 

All sixty six people on board died when the doomed jet crashed into the Mediterranean Sea.

Egyptian singer Sherine Abdel Wahab posted an old picture of her relaxing during an EgyptAir flight as an act of solidarity with the airline.

The starlet captioned it, "Together to support our country’s airlines."

Syrian stars Assala Nasri and Waleed Tawfik also posted pictures and messages showing their support for the airline.

“I am writing this message today exactly while I am sitting on an EgyptAir seat, heading to Dubai,” Assala wrote.

Meanwhile, Emirati singer Ahlam posted a picture of the pilots and some of the victims on the doomed flight and captioned it, "May they rest in peace and may God protect Egypt and its people from any harm."

According to Al Arabiya, "So far, Egypt has found human remains, wreckage and the personal belongings of passengers floating in the Mediterranean about 290 km north of Alexandria, but is still searching for the plane’s two black box recorders that could provide valuable evidence on the cause of the crash."

Egypt’s President Sisi told his nation on Sunday that “until now all scenarios are possible. So please, it is very important that we do not talk and say there is a specific scenario.

“This could take a long time but no one can hide these things. As soon as the results are out people will be informed.”
