Thousands have been raised for the family of a 24-year-old woman who died after falling from a balcony while on holiday.

She said: "I can't believe I'm writing this, my beautiful niece, Robyn Eve Maines has tragically passed away aged 24. Robyn was a beautiful person inside and out with everything to live for.

"After studying Law she graduated from University and went to work in a Solicitors where she made lots more friends. Robyn went on holiday to Ibiza with her partner and friends on 22nd September and on 25th September her mum Clare received a devastating phone call from the British consulate informing her of Robyn's death.

"To say the family are devastated is an understatement. All we know at present is that Robyn had fallen 30ft from her balcony with police investigations still ongoing.

"We understand times are very difficult for a lot of people right now but we are asking for help to get Robyn back home to her family where she belongs. If anyone can please donate however big or small it will be really appreciated and if everyone can share our post we would be truly grateful.

The fundraiser has a target of £10,000 but over half of the target has been raised within 24 hours of it being set up. Over 170 people have contributed so far.

Family members have paid tribute to Robyn-Eve. In a tribute to her daughter, mum Clare Maines said: "Our beautiful 24-year-old daughter sadly passed away after falling 30ft off her balcony. There are no words for us. We are truly heartbroken."

Robyn-Eve's brother, Cam Maines, said: "For those who don't already know today I lost my big sister Robyn-Eve Maines, she fell 30ft from a hotel balcony in Ibiza. She will forever be loved and remembered for the fantastic person she is. Our hearts bleed for the loss of someone so special. I love you big sis always will."

Hundreds of people have taken to social media to share their condolences and tributes to Robyn-Eve. Another tribute, from Toni Goodwin reads: "Oh Robyn-Eve Maines I can’t even begin to say how devastated I am with this sad news! I am truly heartbroken.

"You were one of my best friends this doesn’t seem real at all. You will be so so missed by so many and I can’t even imagine how your family are feeling. You’ll always have a special place in my heart Love you always fly high angel."
