A five-year-old girl has tragically lost her battle with cancer after fighting to be her parents bridesmaid. 

Jacob and Tania Skarratts took to the Love 4 Paige Facebook page to pay tribute to their daughter Paige who died on Monday – three days before her sixth birthday.

“May you have peace and no more pain my beautiful Paige,” the devastated parents wrote. 

“My only wish would be that it was me and not you who had to be taken from this world.

“Through it all you still smiled and fought like the Wonder Woman I know that you are.”

The parents broke the heartbreaking news just days after announcing they were expecting a son. 

Following the doctors diagnosis that Paige had just days to live, her parents made her their flower girl at their wedding. 

Paige went on to defy the odds and was still alive five weeks later. 

Over the past 15 months the community have rallied around Paige, raising more than $76,000 to help the Skarratts family.
