It doesn't happen: https://help.github.com/articles/what-happens-to-forks-when-a-repository-is-deleted-or-changes-visibility/ https://help.github.com/articles/what-happens-to-forks-when-... If you fork a public repo and the original is deleted, your fork survives.

It has previously happened, in the special case of repos GitHub removed (like DMCAed ones). That is a different case from the original repo owner removing it voluntarily.
