It is now believed the teenager, her two sisters and parents, were all killed in the out of control blaze that has so far claimed 12 lives.
"She's about 13 I think. Nobody has been able to contact any of them since. It's just awful,” local resident Hulya told The Sun.
“There are three daughters - one is about two I think, the other is at primary school and the other at secondary school.”


“I received a Snapchat video from Ranya at 3am just after the fire started and I haven't heard from her since,” her friend Maseen said at the height of the fire.
“She lives on the top floor and her husband was not home because he is on holiday.”

"We could see a lot of children and parents screaming 'Help! Help! Help!' and putting their hands on the window and asking to help them," Amina Sharif, a witness, told Reuters.
So far 12 people have been confirmed dead following a fire which ripped through the 24-storey housing block.


Early on Wednesday morning more than 200 firefighters, backed up by 40 fire engines, fought for hours to try to bring the Grenfell Tower block blaze - one of the most treacherous seen in London for a generation - under control.
London mayor Sadiq Khan said the fire raised questions about the safety of high-rise blocks like Grenfell Tower while the scale of the disaster could delay the announcement of a deal by Prime Minister Theresa May to stay in power.
The ambulances service said 69 people had been taken to hospital and 18 were in critical care.
The cause of the inferno, which left the tower block a charred, smoking shell, was not immediately known. Some residents said no alarm had sounded.
