The mum of influencer Klaudia Zakrzewska has paid tribute to her "precious" daughter, who died six days after being hit by a car outside a nightclub in central London.

Klaudia, from Essex, was struck by a car on Argyll Street in Soho at 4.30am on April 19. The 32-year-old, who was known online as Klaudiaglam, was taken to hospital but tragically died on Saturday.

Gabrielle Carrington - a 29-year-old former X Factor finalist - appeared in court last Tuesday (April 21) charged with attempted murder. The Metropolitan Police said on Saturday that the charge would be amended to murder following Klaudia's death.

A GoFundMe fundraiser set up last week in the name of Kinga, Klaudia's mother, described her as "in a coma and desperately fighting for her life".

In an update on Monday, Kinga wrote: "My precious daughter has gained her wings and is now at peace among the angels. She brought so much love, joy, and light into our lives, and that light will never fade."

She continued: "As we navigate this unimaginable loss, I am committed to giving my beautiful angel the farewell she deserves, a service filled with love, dignity, and the grace that reflects who she was.

"The funds raised will go toward her funeral arrangements, ensuring she is laid to rest in the most meaningful and special way possible...

Part of the donations will help cover legal fees as I pursue the best possible representation to fight for her and her memory."

Klaudia's mother also thanked people for their love and support during this "incredibly difficult time". At the time of reporting, the fundraiser had drawn in more than ?26,000.

In addition to the murder charge, Carrington, of Broadfield Road, Manchester, also faces charges of dangerous driving, drink driving, grievous bodily harm with intent and actual bodily harm.

A 58-year-old man also suffered life-changing injuries following the incident, while a third woman sustained a minor wrist injury.

Carrington, who reached the X Factor live finals in 2013 as one of three members of Miss Dynamix, has more than 365,000 followers on Instagram under the handle RIELLEUK.

She did not enter any pleas during the court hearing last week and is due to appear at the Old Bailey on May 19.
