The body of a 5-year-old girl who was swept into the water by a massive wave in Laguna Beach has been recovered.
The victim, identified as Amada Mia Brown of San Bernardino, was found during searches of the coastline on Thursday.
The city said an aerial search by the Laguna Beach Police Department on Thursday led to the discovery.
“The sighting occurred 250 to 300 yards offshore of Christmas Cove, which is located approximately one-quarter mile north of the area where the victim was initially swept into the ocean,” the city said in a statement.
The US Coast Guard announced on Wednesday night that it had suspended its search.
“Our deepest condolences go out to the child’s family and loved ones during this incredibly difficult time,” Capt.
Stacey Crecy, commander of Coast Guard Sector Los Angeles-Long Beach, said in a statement.
“Suspending a search is an extremely difficult decision.
We launched assets and responded as quickly as possible, continuously searching throughout the night and until sunset on June 10, 2026.
We worked hand-in-hand with first responders in Laguna Beach to carry out a coordinated and thorough search of the area,” Crecy continued.
Footage obtained by The California Post showed the frantic search for the young girl Tuesday night as officials used high-powered flash lights from the shore and cliffside.
