Johnny Hallyday's children contest exclusion from his will



The children of French rock star Johnny Hallyday are contesting his will after he left everything to his fourth wife Laeticia and their adopted daughters.

In a statement, actress Laura Smet said she was "stupefied and hurt" after learning she had been left nothing from her father's estate.

His biological son David is also contesting, the AFP news agency says.

The singer, who was hugely popular in his native France, died in December aged 74 from lung cancer.

Ms Smet, 34, said she was shocked to be left without even a souvenir in her father's will, "not even the sleeve of the song Laura", which was dedicated to her.

In a letter addressed to her father and published in French media, she complained she had not "been able to say goodbye".

"I would have preferred all this to stay with the family, unfortunately, in our family it's like this," she wrote.
