Thank you!

Fran had messaged her daughter telling her that they were evacuating but then contact was cut off as calls failed to go through.

Cops have now confirmed that the pair died in the horror inferno.

Victims have been so badly burned that not even their gender can be established.

Investigators are now calling on the family members of missing people to provide DNA samples which can be compared to the scorched bodies.

Danielle shared the tragic news on Facebook, saying: “We are heartbroken to share that we have received confirmation from the police that Mum and Dad did not survive the fire.

“Thank you for all your love, support and prayers over the past few days. They have meant more to us than we can ever express.”
