UPDATE:
The family have been in touch to let us know that, following our post, Ariana has made contact and confirmed to the police that she is safe. The family are extremely grateful for everyone’s support.
We are aware that other outlets may suggest Ariana was never officially missing. However, from her family’s perspective, they had genuine concerns for her welfare. Regardless of age, she is still a much-loved daughter, and their priority was simply to know that she was safe.
The circumstances surrounding the situation are not for us to comment on, nor are they relevant to the purpose of the original post. The priority was to help bring reassurance to a worried family, and thankfully, that has now been achieved.
Thank you to everyone who shared the post and helped bring about this positive outcome.
