A Brit who was killed in the Tonga tsunami died while trying to save her dogs from the deadly giant wave, her heartbroken family have said.
Angela Glover, from Brighton, died after an undersea volcano erupted on Saturday.
The "irreplaceable" charity worker's body was found by her husband James in some bushes, her brother Nick Eleini said.
The family learned of the 50-year-old's death at around 7am on Monday.
Her family and friends appealed for information after Angela went missing and they shared on Facebook posts that her husband had been clinging onto a tree when she and her dogs washed away.
Reading out a statement, her brother told Sky News: "I understand that this terrible accident came about as they tried to rescue their dogs.
"Angela and James loved their life in Tonga and adored the Tongan people. In particular, they loved the Tongan love of family and Tongan culture.
"From a little girl, it was always Angela's dream to swim with whales, and it was Tonga that gave her the opportunity that allowed her to fulfil these dreams.
"As you can imagine, her family is devastated and we respectfully request that we are given privacy to grieve."
The couple moved to the Pacific Island after they got married in 2015 and had become "well-loved" locals, he said.
Angela ran an animal rescue shelter in the country, called the Tonga Animal Welfare Society (Taws), while James owns a tattoo shop, called the Happy Sailor Tattoo Parlour.
Nick said he and his mother had last seen Angela before the Covid-19 pandemic when she visited the UK.
He added: "This is just a terrible shock that it's happened. We're ordinary people, stuff like this doesn't happen to people like us.
"She was beautiful, she was a ray of sunshine. She would walk into a room and lighten the room up. She loved her life.
"She was working in London and then achieved her life's dream of working in the South Pacific. She loved her life there.
"We were so proud of her achievements in such a short time, both her and James starting a business and creating a life there. Her charity work with TAWS, she was so committed to it. She loved animals, dogs particularly.
"She was just a lovely girl. She was the centre of our family and we're just broken."
Speaking to the BBC later on, Nick described his sister as "irreplaceable".
He added: "I had a strong bond with her. We loved each other dearly. She came to see us in our home in Sydney quite often. I've got three daughters and they just loved her so much. They, too, are just beyond grief."
Foreign Secretary Liz Truss tweeted: "My thoughts are with those caught up in the appalling devastation and loss of life caused by the tsunami in Tonga. The UK stands ready to help the recovery effort and we are working closely with the Tongan authorities."
New Zealand and Australia have despatched military surveillance flights to assess the damage.
New Zealand's prime minister Jacinda Ardern told a press conference on Sunday power had been cut to the island as a result of tsunami, while an ash cloud has contaminated water. She added defence forces were working to get water and supplies to citizens.
Antonio Guterres, secretary-general of the United Nations, tweeted: "I am following with concern the situation in Tonga. The @UN offices in the Pacific are closely monitoring the situation and are on standby to provide support if requested.
"I am grateful to countries that have already offered their support."
Olympian and Tongan flag Bearer at the games Pita Taufatofua has set up a GoFundMe page raising money for the nation.
