THE 11-year-old girl killed in the Philadelphia plane crash after undergoing life-saving treatment has been identified.
Touching tributes have started to pour in for young Valentina Guzman Murillo after the tragic jet disaster that also left six others dead including her young mom.
Harrowing footage from Friday showed a fireball erupting in front of terrified onlookers after a medical jet plunged from the sky - killing all on board as well as a driver on the ground.
The crash left debris and burnt out vehicles strewn across up to six different blocks areas just days on from the Washington DC aviation disaster.
Mayor Cherelle Parker confirmed in a statement on Saturday all on board had died, including the girl, her mother, a doctor, paramedic, pilot and co-pilot.
Valentina had been in recovery after undergoing a major medical procedure back in September and was heading home to Mexico on the medical transport jet.
