The girl has now been identified and is safe.
A young girl spotted wandering the streets alone in her pyjamas and carrying a teddy bear sparked a police search.
Officers in Portishead in Somerset were 'concerned' for the welfare of the young girl who was seen walking around the town by herself this morning.
The girl, who is believed to be around six-years-old, was seen wearing red pyjamas, a purple dressing gown and slippers.
Detective Inspector Andrew Greaves said: "If you know who this young girl is, or see her, please call 999 immediately.
"While there may be an explanation as to why she is out alone in her pyjamas, we urgently need to make sure she is safe."

Officers have since visited the girl’s home and spoken with her father and no longer have concerns for her welfare.
Detective Inspector Andrew Greaves said: “I’d like to thank the member of the public who contacted us after seeing the girl this morning.
“At the time, we were concerned for her safety but having now established who she is and the reason why she was out in her pyjamas, we are satisfied there is nothing to worry about.”
