Mum of Brit model who died falling from Aussie selfie cliff hits back at trolls
The heartbroken mum of a British Instagram model who tragically plunged to her death at a notorious tourist hotspot dubbed the "selfie cliff" has hit back at trolls.
Madalyn Davis, 21, plunged 100ft from a cliff after climbing over a fence to pose for an Insta-worthy sunrise photo in Diamond Bay near Sydney.
Hundreds of tributes have poured in for the young girl whose body was recovered by Australian search and rescue divers hours after she slipped.
But Madalyn's devastated mum has lashed out at "nasty people" who have mocked the 21-year-old for being "self obsessed."

On the day of the tragic accident Madalyn had been to a posh party in suburb Vaucluse before she and seven friends went to see the sunrise over the ocean.
It is believed the beauty fell from the cliffs at Diamond Bay around 6.30am on Sunday and rescuers recovered her body in the water hours later.
Family friend Lydia Woodward jumped to the young girls defence and said: "Maddy had been at a party and then they all went to this cliff to take pictures.
"It appears that Maddy was sitting on the cliff edge to have her picture taken when she fell – it is such a tragedy."
