Kent Police had earlier said they were searching for Lily after she was reported missing on Monday.

A police spokesperson said in a statement overnight: "Lily, who is more widely known as Kalia, is believed to have boarded a train from Canterbury West railway station accompanied by an unknown older male.

"It is thought they boarded a London bound service at around 1.30pm and that they may been headed to an address in Welling in Bexley."

Kent police said the man she was with was possibly in his late teens and wearing a grey top and grey jogging bottoms.

The force also said Lily has potential links with nearby Ashford.

They described her as white, 5ft 5ins, slim build, and having shoulder-length blonde hair.

She was last seen at Canterbury West Station at about 2pm wearing a black t-shirt and white Nike trainers.

Lily's mother Krystle said on social media that she was "going out my mind" with her daughter missing.

But at 10am, Krystle told followers police had found her and Lily was on her way home.

Anyone with information on her whereabouts should call 999, quoting reference 24-1061.
