Mum's heartbreaking tribute to Alysia Salisbury after daughter, 5, killed in horror blaze while trapped in burning home | The Sun

A heartbroken mother has spoken of her daughter's "beautiful smile" just days after she was killed in a fierce fire at their country home.

Alysia Salisbury's parents managed to rescue her two older siblings but could not save her from the flames.


The fire ripped through the family home in Pembrokeshire, west Wales, shortly before 10pm on Saturday.

Alycia tragically died of her injuries at the scene in Pontyglasier.

Now her mum, Tara, has told of her family's pain.

She said: "This weekend I lost the light in my life in the most horrific way possible.

“Everything she met was lit up by her beautiful smile. In one night, everything was cruelly taken from us. Life is not fair.

“The fire has taken literally everything – our house, our possessions, the car and my beautiful little girl Lysi. It’s incredible how you can lose everything in a split second."

She passed on her gratitude to local people who have collected clothes, linen and every basic for her two sisters aged 10 and 12 to try to rebuild their lives.

More than £12,000 has been raised for the family at Pontyglasier, near Crymych Pembrokeshire.

Fundraiser Beccy Eynon said donations will go towards helping Alysia's mum Tara pay for her daughter's funeral as well as going towards helping the family find a new home to live in after they lost everything in the fire.

Beccy said: "Alysia was a sweet, happy little girl who loved animals and the great outdoors.

"She was happiest out in the rain wearing nothing but a T-shirt and shorts. She adored her two older sisters, Abigail and Jessica, and they took such good care of her."

By this afternoon more than £5,000 had been raised for the family.

Throughout the night, emergency services personnel diligently worked to extinguish the fire, with multiple fire tenders, police units, and paramedics present at the scene.The cause is being investigated and an inquest will be held.
