Tributes have been paid to a four-year-old girl who died on Christmas Day following an accident at her home.

It is understood Emily Hughes was injured when a television fell on her at her home in Coedpoeth, Wrexham, on Christmas Eve.

North Wales Police were called at 1820 GMT, but doctors at Liverpool's Alder Hey Children's Hospital were unable to save Emily and she died the next day.

Officers said her family were "distraught". A spokeswoman for North Wales Police said: "As a result of a very sad and tragic accident on Christmas Eve, reported to police at 6.20pm, a four-year-old girl from the Coedpoeth area of Wrexham passed away at Alder Hey Children's Hospital on Christmas Day.

The family are understandably very distraught by this tragic accident and police are making a plea for the privacy of the family to be respected at this incredibly difficult time."


The North East Wales coroner's office has taken over the investigation into the death.

Emily's family told BBC Wales that it was a freak tragic accident, and asked to be left in peace to grieve for their daughter.

Neighbours in the street have also paid tribute to Emily.

Many knew the family well, and were too shocked to say anything.
However, one said: "She was just a bubbly little, cute little four-year-old girl really.
"I've met them a couple of times and obviously I've seen the kids and stuff. It's absolutely terrible... it's shocking."
