The devastated family of a young girl killed in the Bondi shooting has paid an emotional tribute at a memorial, urging the public not to forget their “beautiful girl”.

Matilda Britvan had just turned 10 when she was killed in Sunday’s attack at the Chanukah By The Sea event at Bondi Beach.

She is the youngest of the 16 people who died, a figure that includes one of the alleged gunmen, Sajid Akram.

His son Naveed, 24, emerged from a coma in hospital on Tuesday.

A further 22 people injured in the alleged shooting are being treated at hospitals across Sydney.

On Tuesday night, Matilda’s family attended a vigil at Bondi Pavilion, where her father, Michael, addressed the crowd.

“He wanted them to know his daughter was a ‘beautiful’ person.”

“Her name was Matilda because she was our first Australian,” he said, per reports in The Australian.

Matilda’s mother described the act that killed her daughter, referring to the “monster” who opened fire.

“It wasn’t just a bullet from a spray. It wasn’t an accident – it was a bullet fired on her,” she said.

Footage released on Tuesday showed Matilda smiling in the moments before the shooting, captured getting her face painted, petting animals and playing at Archer Park in Bondi.

Her language teacher, Irina Goodhew, said Matilda’s memory would “live on in our hearts” while organising a fundraiser in her honour.

A former student at Harmony Russian School of Sydney in Bellevue Hill, Matilda was taken to Sydney Children’s Hospital after being injured but could not be saved.

At least 12 of the 15 innocent victims killed in the attack have now been identified.

They include Marika Pogany, Tibor Weitzen, Dan Elkayam, Reuven Morrison, Peter Meagher, Alexander Kleytman, and rabbis Eli Schlanger and Yaakov Levitan.

Boris and Sofia Gurman, two Russian-speaking Jewish immigrants who confronted one of the alleged shooters, were also named among the deceased. The couple were recognised for slowing the attacker’s advance and seizing one of his weapons.

In footage widely shared on social media, the pair can be seen wrestling the alleged shooter to the ground in the first minutes of the attack.

Mr and Ms Gurman were approaching their 35th wedding anniversary and were reported missing shortly after the shooting.

“Boris and Sofia were longtime Bondi locals who loved their community and the life they had built there,” the Gurman family said in a statement.

“While nothing can lessen the pain of this loss, we feel immense pride in their courage and humanity,” the statement said.

Edith Brutman, the vice-president of B’nai B’rith NSW – the state’s branch of the Jewish community service organisation – was also confirmed to have died.

“She was a gracious woman and a devoted member of B’nai B’rith NSW,” the organisation said in a statement, according to The Sydney Morning Herald.

“We are all horrified at the tragic events that took place at the Chanukah celebration at Bondi Beach on Sunday night.”
