The dictionary here only provides "unfortunately" for "desafortunadamente", but allows "unhappily" as well as unfortunately for your second word - "desgraciadamente".
Most likely the speaker could pick either, but choose "unhappily"/"desgraciadamente" if wanting to emphasize how he or she might be feeling about the misfortune.
However, my mother tongue is English....you might be better off waiting for a native speaker's response.
