The leaves should grow back. Hopefully some leaves are still on the plant so it can produce food through photosynthesis.
Duranta prefers full sun to part shade to flower well. It may not have been getting enough water, or perhaps too much. A fungal infection could have caused dead leaves, as well. Here is more on taking care of Duranta or skyflower:
