"A few days before the festival took place Eden accidentally fell to her death from the accommodation she was staying at.
"This news saddens us all close to Eden more than words can comprehend right now.
"Due to the circumstances of Edens death, we are having to pay to fly her body home from Spain to be with us so we can give her the send-off we know she would want and more than deserves."
