"Emily in Paris" resumed filming just days after the show's assistant director suddenly died.

Lily Collins, who stars in the Netflix show, was spotted on set on Aug. 23 – just two days after Diego Borella collapsed and died on location.

Collins and co-stars Eugenio Franceschini, Ashley Park and Paul Forman were photographed as filming resumed. The daughter of renowned musician Phil Collins wore a beaded gown, pink gloves and a hat as the group filmed on a boat.

Collins opened up about portraying the marketing genius Emily in the hit Netflix show ahead of the last season. "Emily in Paris" focused on an American girl working in marketing who moves to Paris to follow her career dreams.

"I was happy that this season you really get to see Emily feel all the feelings and have a breakdown and not look perfect all the time and actually be more vulnerable," Collins said during an episode of Vanity Fair's "Still Watching" podcast. 

"I think that this season we get to see her be more complex, and be okay being more complex."

A teenager drowned while swimming with his family at Hampton Beach, New Hampshire, officials said. The 17-year-old died after he and his father, 61, were pulled from the water when they were swept away Sunday evening by a powerful ocean current, according to authorities.

According to New Hampshire State Police Marine Patrol, authorities received a report of a possible drowning around 6:45 p.m. Witnesses said the teen had been swimming with his family when a strong current carried him away from shore.

The father reportedly entered the water in an attempt to rescue his son but also found himself in distress.

Although lifeguards were off-duty at the time, they were called back and quickly responded. They managed to bring both individuals to shore and immediately began lifesaving measures on the teen.

The father and son were transported to a local hospital, where the teen was later pronounced dead. His father was treated and is in stable condition. Authorities have not yet released the teen’s name.

DEADLY RIP CURRENT FATALITIES REPORTED AMID SUMMER BEACH SEASON AS EXPERTS WEIGH IN

Due to the hazardous water conditions and the recent rescue, beach access for swimming at Hampton Beach has been temporarily closed. Officials plan to reassess conditions on Monday.

The tragedy comes during a particularly dangerous stretch at Hampton Beach. Last week alone, lifeguards rescued more than 140 people from rip currents fueled by Tropical Depression Dexter, according to WMUR. With Hurricane Erin approaching, officials warn that more hazardous surf is likely.

RIP CURRENT BEACH RESCUES SHOW SWIMMERS FACE DEADLY RISKS: WHAT TO KNOW TO STAY SAFE

"A lot of the sand in those flash rip currents really kicked out, especially around high tide, which we normally don’t see here," Patrick Murphy, chief of the New Hampshire State Beach Patrol, told the outlet. "On some days, we’ve had 40 to 60 rescues, but more than 140 in a week is unusual."

Officials added that the number of rescues that can occur in a day when there are rip currents can be unpredictable, noting they've had 40, 50, 60 in one day before, but more than 140 isn't that typical.

According to the United States Lifesaving Association, over 100 deaths occur every year stemming from rip currents, making it a water safety hazard for beachgoers. Tens of thousands of people are rescued from rip currents annually, according to NOAA.

The beachgoers were rescued from rip currents from Tropical Depression Dexter, and more rip currents are expected from Hurricane Erin.

Lifeguards emphasized that the best way to survive a rip current is to remain calm and avoid fighting against it.

"The best bet is to swim parallel to shore," Murphy said. "Do not try to go directly back to shore. You're going to be fighting the current. You're going to get tired."
