Two women wrapped in thermal blankets stand near the Manchester Arena, where U.S. singer Ariana Grande had been performing, in Manchester, northern England, Britain, May 23, 2017.

A desperate mother is still frantically searching for her teenage daughter, who has not been in touch since the Manchester Arena terror attack.

Charlotte Campbell last heard from 15-year-old Olivia shortly before Ariana Grande came on stage on Monday night.

โ€œI last had contact with her at half past eight last night. She was at the concert, sheโ€™d just seen the support act and said she was having an amazing time and thanking me for letting her go,โ€ Ms Campbell told BBC Radio 4โ€™s Today programme.

โ€œShe was with her friend Adam โ€“ Adam was found about half an hour ago, heโ€™s in hospital but Olivia has not been found yet.โ€

Ms Campbell said she had been at home โ€œphoning everybody โ€“ hospitals, police, all these centres that the children have been put inโ€.

โ€œHer dad is actually in Manchester looking for her. Iโ€™ve got friends out looking for her, Iโ€™ve got people I donโ€™t even know out looking for her.

โ€œIโ€™ve got people messaging me saying โ€˜Look, weโ€™ve got her photo and weโ€™re out looking for her โ€“ weโ€™ll get in contact with you if we see herโ€™.

โ€œIโ€™m just hearing nothing โ€“ her phoneโ€™s dead.โ€

Ms Campbell posted a picture of her daughter on Facebook saying โ€œplease share my daughter is still missing with no news on herโ€.

She said social media had been โ€œwonderfulโ€ and thanked those who were helping with the search.
