The whole of Brazil remains in mourning due to the 62 people who lost their lives in a plane crash on Friday (9 August).

The VoePass Flight 2283 was traveling to Sao Paulo’s Guarulhos international airport when the plane ended up spinning down to the ground.

Crashing in a residential area of Vinhedo, 58 passengers and four crew members were killed.

Three-year-old Liz Ibba dos Santos was the youngest to lose her life on the tragic day last week, as she was travelling on the plane with her father, Rafael Fernando dos Santos.

Liza's mother Adrian Libba has been speaking to Brazilian outlet Fantastico amid her ongoing grief.

"That was my greatest love and I lost it," she told the outlet.

Libba shared the final audio she received from her young daughter.

In it, Liz could be heard saying 'hi mommy…I’m already on the plane' before blowing her mom a kiss.

Libba also recalled the moment she heard of the plane crashing, admitting she feared the worse.

"I think I knew it. A mother feels it, right? I lost the best part of me. The most beautiful thing. She was happy, she loved hugging and kissing," she said.

Brazil's federal police have since launched an investigation into the crash, though no timeline has been provided on more news being released.

The black box of the aircraft has been recovered, with recent flight data revealing some new details.

Many involved with the crash some way or another have spoken out following the tragedy.

Adriano Assis was due to be on the doomed flight but was refused onboard because he was running late.

After a mix-up with the flights, Assis was told he was too late to board the VoePass aircraft.

"The guy said I wouldn't be boarding anymore because it was an hour before boarding," Assis recalled to Brazilian news outlet G1.

"At that moment, I argued with him and stuff, and that was it, and he saved my life."

Emotionally, Assis added: "He did his job because, if he hadn't done it... maybe I wouldn't be in this interview today."

Moments after the tragedy, Brazilian president Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva said in a video shared on Twitter: "I would like everyone to stand up so that we can observe a minute of silence because a plane has just crashed in the city of Vinhedo, in São Paulo, with 58 passengers and four crew members and it appears they all died."
