Peter Gutwein,Premier
I would like to send a heartfelt thank you to each and every person from Tasmania Police, state emergency service personnel, Ambulance Tasmania, Victoria Police and volunteers who have assisted in safely locating 4-year-old Shayla Phillips in Stormlea.
It is the most heart-warming news.
Our emergency services have worked around the clock for the past 48 hours searching bushland for Shayla, which included assistance from our mainland counterparts.
Resources included members from Search and Rescue, divers, drone operators, specialist tracker dogs, off road vehicles, investigators, the Westpac Rescue Helicopter, Tasmania SES and Ambulance Tasmania.
For the last 48 hours, Tasmania's thoughts and prayers have been with Shayla, her family and loved ones wishing for her to be found safely.
We are all so pleased to see little Shayla reunited with her family and friends following this positive outcome.
