'We forever remember your smile': Family shares heartbreaking footage of youngest Bondi victim Matilda
The youngest victim of the Bondi Beach shooting has been captured in a video smiling and enjoying an evening celebrating Hanukkah with her family.
Matilda, 10, had her face painted, petted some farm animals and blissfully cuddled her younger sister Summer, six, while playing on the grass at Archer Park in Bondi.
Shortly after this footage was taken, Matilda was fatally shot in front of her sister.
