A hero 4-year-old hero used an Amazon Alexa to get help after her mom had an epileptic fit.

Quick-thinking, Lyla Leathem ran upstairs and asked the device to call her great-gran after she was unable to unlock Mom Leah Biggs’ phone.

The 24-year-old had fallen unwell at her home in Bridgwater, Somerset, on Aug. 25.

Family members had previously shown Lyla how to use Alexa for phone calls as her mom often suffers from seizures at night – which can be “life-threatening.”

But they had no idea the youngster had listened – until she was called into action.

Lyla’s great-gran, who does not want to be named, then rushed over from her home in Taunton and helped stay-at-home mom Leah.

She was treated at her home and is now recovering.

The 56-year-old great-gran said: “I had had a call from Leah in the morning. She said she had had a big fit in the night and bitten her tongue.

“Then we texted a few hours later, and she said she didn’t need me to come over and that she was just resting.

“It wasn’t long after that I had a call come through from Leah’s number – not a video call as usual – and when I answered it, it was Lyla saying: ‘Nana, Mommy’s having a fit.’

“I said: ‘It’s okay, I’m on my way.’

She knows I live in Taunton and how far the distance is. I told her: ‘Go to Mommy and stroke her hair and tell her it’s all going to be ok. I’m on my way.'”
