Aria Thorpe’s parents say ‘our hearts are broken’ by her death

Aria’s family on her mother’s side said: “For those who didn’t have the privilege of knowing Aria, she was the most beautiful little soul — happy-go-lucky, full of light, and joy.

“She loved to sing and dance, and she took such pride in dressing up, always wanting to look just like her mummy.

“As a family, we are holding one another close and doing everything we can to support each other through this unimaginable time.”
