Ben Goldsmith has begged for his 'little girl back' after his daughter died in a quad bike crash on the family farm earlier this week.
The millionaire financier tweeted a heartbreaking message this evening, four days after the death of 15-year-old Iris Annabel.
Ambulance crews were called to the Goldsmiths' home in the Somerset village of North Brewham on Monday afternoon after Mr Goldsmith's eldest daughter Iris Annabel, 15, was involved in a crash.
Mr Goldsmith tweeted today: "Dear God, please can I have my beautiful, brilliant, kind little girl back, please God.
"And if not, please take extra special care of her. I love her so so much and I’m so proud of her.
"It hurts me so much I can’t describe."
He and his ex-wife Kate were left 'devastated' by the death of their daughter in the quadbike accident.
Kate, 37, was reportedly staying at the country estate when the accident happened. Her ex-husband Ben, 38, was playing in a cricket match in Surrey at the time.
A family friend told the Mail : "This is the most awful accident. Iris was a complete firecracker – an absolute delight.
"She was beautiful, charming, intelligent, wonderful company and absolutely the loveliest person you could meet.
"Ben and Kate are completely devastated."
Ben was playing a cricket match when he received the call about the accident.
The game was abandoned when Ben sped away from the match with his sons Frankie, 13, and 11-year-old Isaac.
The vehicle Iris was riding with a friend is described as a 'ranger vehicle' - an all-terrain buggy with a roll-cage that resembles a cross between a quadbike and a small Jeep.
A spokesman for Avon & Somerset Police confirmed: "We were called at about 3.15pm on Monday July 8 to a farm in the North Brewham area following the sudden death of a teenage girl.
"The girl's death is not being treated as suspicious and officers are now carrying out enquiries on behalf of the coroner."
The South Western Ambulance Service said it had sent an air ambulance crew, a critical care team, a land ambulance crew and two more paramedics to the incident on Monday.
