Her sister Jessica Lindop, who has set up a fundraising page to help raise money for the family, wrote: "On Sunday morning, our hearts were broken forever.

"It was the same as any Sunday morning - but my sister didn't wake up.

"My beautiful, funny, unique little sister had been taken by the angels far too soon at just 11 months old.

"My heart hurts for my family, especially my mum and Kaycee's Daddy TJ, at such a sad, unexpected time. I cannot even know where to begin to support them through this tragedy.

"This is, naturally, a very sad occasion for all of Kaycee's family with feelings of loss felt at so many levels.

"Feelings of shock, too, that such a vibrant, beautiful little person who so loved life and was so loved could be gone from our lives.

"Parting with our baby who has played a key part in our lives– and who made such an impression on so many in such a short time– is inevitably heart wrenching and painful.

"But even amongst these sad feelings, we’re going to find the courage together to remember Kaycee in a strong and positive spirit, the spirit she would wish, no doubt."

She went on to thank everyone who had supported her family and appealed for donations to support them.

She said she wanted to give her little sister "the send off she deserves." To donate, click here.
