A four-year-old British girl has died in a Spanish hospital after drowning in a swimming pool during a family holiday to celebrate her grandfather's 60th birthday.
Blossom Kelly, from Skelmersdale in Lancashire, was reportedly pulled unconscious from a pool in the town of Sils, near Girona on Saturday.
She was airlifted to hospital in Barcelona and placed on life support but her parents made the heart wrenching decision to switch it off on her father's birthday on Wednesday.
Blossom's mother Vicky Kelly posted a moving tribute on Facebook which has been shared more than 2,000 times.
She said: 'She put on the most amazing battle but her little body was tired and we had to make the most difficult decision of our lives and let her go and she chose to go today on her daddy's birthday.'
Family, friends and people who have been moved by Blossom's story have changed their Facebook profile pictures to pink flowers in tribute to the four-year-old, reports the Liverpool Echo.
They have also been offering kind words of support. One friend Kerrie Baron wrote: 'RIP Blossom, such a beautiful little girl taken far too soon. My thoughts and prayers are with her family.'
