A family dog which killed a 10-year-old girl inside her home will be destroyed, police have said.
The girl suffered serious injuries after being bitten by her dog while at home in the Malton area at about 16:15 GMT on Friday.
Despite efforts by medical professionals and a member of the public who came to the family's aid, the girl died at the scene, police said.
Their inquiries so far indicated the attack was "out-of-character" and that the girl and dog had "a close, loving relationship".
