I understand. Most of our responses to situations are conditioned by our past experiences. Fear is a physiological response that is in built to keep us safe, to protect us from danger. It is an inherent part of human anatomy.
Try having a conversation with her expressing your care and concern for her without being judgmental or labeling her response as dysfunctional only with the intention of letting her vent her concerns and thereby making the burden which is weighing on her mind,lighter.
With your honorable intentions and compassionate care, the matter will soon be resolved. Have faith in yourself.
Take care.

Hello thanks for your approach to us, I understand your concern, fear could be for various reasons, has she had disturbance, any thing she came to know , some negative thoughts.. her age also will trigger for thought process, leading to emotional distress.
It's better that you take the help of psychologist to guide for better situation.
If required psychiatrist s help can be taken.
