Her devastated mum Christina Blakelock has posted a series of heartbreaking tributes online.
‘My twinkle. My baby. My angel. I’ll miss you forever. What a smile, you are someone who lights up the world. It’s hard for me to fathom on days – Jesus chose me my Olyvia Te’a, he chose me’ to be your Mum!’ Ms Blakelock wrote.
‘You’ll never be loved more. My love for you my dove is beyond anything you’ll ever understand. I need to see your calls and messages again. I can’t imagine life without you.’

‘There was nothing else I wanted more than to be a mum, my job was to be a mum, and nothing else mattered.’
One of Olyvia’s mother’s closest friends Tanya Pohio revealed her parents had travelled from Japan to Bali to bring her home to Australia.
‘It is with such a broken heart that I share this. Olyvia – light and love gone too soon. She is the beautiful daughter of one of my best friends Christina. Made so much more tragic in that she passed away in Bali,’ she wrote.
