A toddler has died following a house fire in South Yorkshire, police have said.
A neighbour alerted the emergency services to the blaze in Don Street, Conisbrough, near Doncaster.
The two-year-old girl was rescued from a bedroom window by firefighters but died later in hospital.
Shocked neighbour Zoe Backhouse Police say no-one else was injured in the blaze.
Although the girl has not been named officially, flowers left at the scene were addressed to Libby. One note read: "Love you Libby", while another said: "Sleep tight Libby. Goodnight. God bless."
Neighbour Zoe Backhouse, whose daughter is the same age as the youngster and went to the same nursery, told Sky News: "It's awful to think the family has lost such a little angel.
"They really are a nice family. It's heart-breaking."
Sky's North of England Correspondent Becky Johnson also spoke to another neighbour who witnessed what happened.
Johnson said: "She was in floods of tears. She said it was just a dreadful scene.
"She saw the little girl, who neighbours have told me is called Libby, being brought from the house.
The upper floor of the house "She said that there was a young teenager, who she understood to be the babysitter, running up and down the street calling out for help.
"She said that when Libby was taken to hospital in the ambulance, it was some 20 minutes later that her mum turned up having been told what happened, and of course was distraught."
A statement from South Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service said two crews battled the fire, which broke out shortly before 8pm on Thursday.
"A team of firefighters wearing breathing apparatus entered the property and located the fire in an upstairs bedroom," it said.
"A young child was rescued from the bedroom but sadly died."
An investigation has been launched into the cause of the fire, a spokesman for South Yorkshire Police said.
