Amada Mia Brown, a 5-year-old girl from San Bernardino, California, has been identified as the victim of a drowning incident at Laguna Beach. Her body was recovered on June 11, 2026, after a search that had been suspended earlier. The powerful water conditions near the shoreline had swept Brown and her family into the ocean, with bystanders rescuing her mother and brother but failing to save Brown.
Brown's father, Aaron, described her as a bright child who loved life and had a passion for singing and music. A GoFundMe page has been set up for the family, noting that Brown had a beautiful voice and dreamed of becoming a singer. She was also a devoted fan of KPop and expressed her creativity through singing and dancing.
The family has been remembered Brown as a 'happy, cheerful, and loving little girl whose smile could brighten anyone's day.' The fundraiser was started by Tatiana Puerta and has been endorsed by the Brown family.
