An adorable three-year-old girl died after she was swept away in a bounce house during strong winds at a Canadian park.

Ava Ciampini and her family were attending a festival at the Ouellette Park in Montreal on Tuesday when she was thrown several feet out of a bounce house that got picked up off the ground during strong winds, CTV News reported.

Ten others were injured, while Ciampini, who hit the ground after being swept away, was taken to the hospital in critical condition. She was later pronounced dead.

Witness, Gino Moretto, whose granddaughter knew Ava, said the festival looked like a ‘war zone’ after the storm passed through.

‘It was horrible,’ he told CTV News. ‘We never had a tragedy like this in the community. It’s heartbreaking. Very heartbreaking.

‘Nobody deserves this. But this family – it’s a beautiful family.’

The family is ‘heartbroken’ to have lost their little girl, as her father, Luca Ciampini, told the Montreal Gazette they are ‘waiting for her to come back.’

Wind speeds reached up to 50mph that day, according to Environment Canada.

Ciampini’s death has now raised arguments about the safety of the bounce house, but Luca said he is not focusing on the logistics.

‘She wants us to be happy and take care of our son and be there for each other, husband and wife,’ he told the Montreal Gazette.

‘Everything that we do is for her.’

Luca remembered his daughter as a ‘happy, silly, smart, little girl, who loved making people laugh,’ he told the outlet.

‘She’s just so intelligent, so sweet, so kind,’ he said. ‘She was so motherly at such a young age and she just wanted to take care of people.’

She also leaves behind a little brother, Milan, one, who she often was seen hugging and making him laugh. The toddler would even sing songs to him while he cried, the father recalled.

‘She loved her little brother,’ he told the outlet.

She was also close with her father, whom she would go on coffee shop dates with and would get weekend breakfast with.

The park (pictured) that she died in was the same place Luca proposed to his wife, Arielle, in
