TRIBUTES have flooded in for a little girl who was killed by a falling tree in a park while visiting with her family.
Seven-year-old Leonna Ruka, from East London, was visiting Southend in Essex for the day.
Essex Police scrambled to the scene after the tree collapsed in popular Chalkwell Park, crushing a group of children.
A six-year-old girl, who was also caught under the tree as it fell, is still fighting for her life in hospital.
Three other children were also hospitalised with minor injuries.
Locals said the very old cedar tree had been propped up by metal supports for at least a decade and it was a “known danger”.
