"Please come home, we love you so much" Family appeals to missing girl

The family of a 16-year-old girl who has been missing since Thursday have made an emotional appeal for her to come home.

Rebecca Watts was last seen at home in the Crown Hill area of Bristol.

Today her father Darren Goldsworthy struggled to make it through a written statement, but told his daughter how much she was loved.

Her grandmother Pat Watts finished the family statement, adding that if anyone knows where Rebecca is they should "do the right thing" and get in touch.

Detective Inspector Richard Ocone of the Bristol CID added that Rebecca's disappearance is out of character and that she's not in any trouble.

We're all concerned about your well-being and just want to make sure that you're okay. If you can call home or one of your friends, or phone us on 101 and just let us know you're okay, we can work through any issues that you might be facing.

– Det Insp Richard Ocone

Anyone with any information is asked to get in touch with the police.
