Mrs Hysom added: “She’s really gregarious and outgoing - she’s just a lovely person.
“She has been suffering from depression and is likely to be anxious and displaying signs of being anxious.”
“She can be extremely confident and friendly might approach people because of that. If that’s happened please let police know.
“We are trying to stay as strong as possible. Sitting crying is not going to help anybody but it’s difficult.”
A Met Office spokesman today said there were no developments overnight but urged witnesses or people with information to come forward.
Ella is described as white, 5ft 7ins and was wearing blue jeans, a green hooded jumper and Ugg boots when she was last seen.
Police say they are extremely concerned for her welfare and are asking anyone who has seen her, or has any information about her whereabouts, to call police on 020 8345 2751 or the police non-emergency line on 101.
