'I'm broken': Mother of young woman who 'unexpectedly' died in Bali shares heartbreaking tributes

The mother of a young Australian woman who died "unexpectedly" in Bali says her daughter was a "twinkle in every star" and her "life".
Olyvia Cowley died a week ago on Friday, August 19, and her mother Christina Blakelock has shared a series of heartwrenching tributes on social media.
"My Twinkle. My baby. My Angel. I'll miss you forever. What a smile, you are someone who lights up the world," Blakelock wrote on Facebook.

"Darling my heart does not know what to do...I ache! Miss you like no tomorrow. Oh my baby girl, to hold you again is all I long to do.
"I'm broken. I now know the pain I never expected to EVER experience. My girl will reign in my heart forever.
Blakelock posted a photo of her children and said "this picture is my world" along with a tribute to her daughter.
"Since I carried them inside me I felt every inch of overwhelm and love. From 18 I experienced the overwhelm of a mother's love!," she said.
"Olyvia used to Twinkle my ears, our special thing... she'd never sleep apart from me.
"There was nothing else I wanted more than to be a mum, my job was to be a mum, and nothing else mattered."
An online fundraiser page set up by friend Shae Barr said the family is trying to bring Cowley back to Australia.
"The family are currently planning to bring Liv home to the Gold Coast," Barr wrote.
"To ease the financial pressure on the family moving forward I am asking for any donations if you are in a position to give."
In a post, Blakelock said: "Mummy is coming home with your sister soon".
Other tributes from loved ones and well-wishers have mounted up online.
"In loving memory of one of the most kindest, gentle, funny and loving friends," wrote one friend on the fundraiser page.
"You brought nothing but happiness to every single person you came across."
The fundraiser has already amassed more than $10,000 of its ultimate goal of $15,000, from just 133 donations.
"The Cowley family are extremely grateful for the overwhelming love and support already," Barr wrote.
"Let's help this amazing family get through these next phases."
