9 yr old terrified of death

Hi. Can anyone give me some advice on how to approach this with my DD? My DD has become terrified of dying and I do not know how to reassure her. It started in the run up to her birthday (about a month ago) and she talks about it a fair bit. I have tried reassuring her but don't know how to make her feel better. It's not like I can tell her death isn't real or won't happen. No one close to her is ill or has died. I'm at a loss at how to make her feel less upset. I have an older DD who didn't go through this so not sure how common this fear is. Any advice would be appreciated.
