While this is devastating, the lesson that we should all remember:

Never, ever, no matter the circumstances, store private keys (or seed phrases) on photos. Especially if those photos are synchronized to the cloud.

Hand-write them, store them in a safe and secure PHYSICAL location.

Of course we're humans, we make mistakes, and we usually start with small amounts of money that we can lose where it would be unnecessary to take all these precautions, but we still need to regularly remind ourselves to avoid disasters like this in the self-custody world.
