A seven-year-old girl who was killed after she fell from a moving car in the Northern Territory earlier this month has been remembered as a “daddy’s girl” who was “larger than life”.

Kaylessi Roser and her family travelled to the Top End from regional Queensland just three days before the horror accident happened near Harts Range - about 215 km northeast of Alice Springs – on June 5.

She was travelling in the car with her single father and several other people when she fell.

Kaylessi sustained serious head injuries and was first taken to the Harts Range clinic before being flown to the Royal Adelaide Hospital where she succumbed to her injuries.

Her father Kim Roser said his youngest daughter was a “daddy’s girl” who was just like him in looks and personality and always followed him, wanting to help.

The father of six, 51, remembered Kaylessi as generous, considerate of others and someone who loved adventure, exploring and being around water.

“Anybody that met her fell in love with her. She was just larger than life … and so daring,” he said.

“She'd take a bag of lollies to school and share them with everybody, even the kids that didn’t like her, and if other kids didn’t have anything, she’d give them her stuff.

“Everybody loved her and she loved everybody.

“She was just a very nice person and this world is going to be so much darker without her.”

In his time of sorrow, Mr Roser reminded others not to take time for granted and to make the most of life.

He said the family travelled to the NT to mine gemstones, rubies and turquoise that would change their lives for the better.

The father said Kaylessi “always had to be first at everything she did” and believed she raced to get to the front gate at their destination when she jumped out before the vehicle completely stopped.

“I don’t know what happened. She must have jumped out the window just before we pulled up. My car was about 3m from the gate.

“I put everything into this trip to get up there to change their lives … but this has absolutely destroyed us.

“I wish I could wake up from this nightmare.”

The family still have their car and belongings in the NT but Kaylessi’s body remains in South Australia.

A GoFundMe page has since been set up to raise $10,000 to help bring her body back to Queensland, fund her funeral and support the family in future.

So far, more than $4500 has been donated.

The Yarraman Bowls Club is also hosting a fundraising event on Saturday, July 9, from 11am, with all proceeds donated to Mr Roser and his family.

A local fundraising event will also held to help raise money for the family. Picture: Supplied
