A heartbroken mother has shared the horrific ordeal of watching her seven-year-old daughter get crushed to death by a tree at a birthday picnic.

Gislene Silva Tiburcio Fermino had just handed her daughter Isabela a glass of water when she heard a crack and saw the giant eucalyptus fall on her.

The family was under the tree to celebrate cousin Manu's birthday at Lagoa do Taquaral park in the city of Campinas, Sao Paulo state, Brazil, in late January.

She said, "As I handed her the water, I heard very loud cracking noises and I already identified that they were coming from this tree.

"I didn't even look at anything, I just saw Manu by my side, I stuck to her arm. Manu was looking back, I was pulling her and I was running and running.

"It was a very loud noise, you don't know if you're running to the right place."

After dodging the falling eucalyptus tree, Gislene began to search for her daughter and found her under the tree.
