A two-year-old died in a hot car parked on a driveway as her mum took a midday nap inside the house, according to reports

The mum reportedly said she was napping, and phoned the police at around 12.42pm saying she couldn't find her daughter.

But then she discovered the toddler inside the vehicle in Tierrasanta, San Diego, California.

It is unclear how long the child was in the car, but when police arrived she was sadly pronounced dead at about 1pm, NBC San Diego reports.

The car is now at the centre of an investigation, as footage from the scene shows police swarming the area.

Neighbours have offered their support to the family.

The neighbourhood is made up of housing used by US personnel from military spouses.
