A massive rogue wave in Laguna Beach led to a devastating tragedy in California on June 9. A 5-year-old girl named Amada Mia Brown lost her life after being swept out to sea, and tributes are now pouring in from her family and local authorities highlighting just how heartbreaking the incident was.
On the night of the tragedy, Amada was with her mother and 7-year-old brother walking along the shoreline at Treasure Island Beach. According to Fox LA, a historic 9-foot summer south swell swept all three family members into the ocean. Witnesses at the scene reacted immediately and were able to rescue the mother and son, but they could not reach Amada in time.
