Her father is originally from the costal City of Tyre in South Lebanon, while her mother is from Palestine, with an Armenian background.

[4][5] Boutros donated the profits from the sales of "Ahibaii" ($3 million) to help the families of Hezbollah fighters and of all the Lebanese who were killed during the 2006 war.

The sum was triple the original aim, which was only $1 million, and the families of Lebanese soldiers killed during 2007 Lebanon conflict also received a portion of the proceeds.
