The U.S. Coast Guard has suspended the search for a 5-year-old girl who was swept out to sea by rip currents in Laguna Beach, California, on Tuesday night.

The incident occurred when the girl's family was walking on the beach. A wave and strong rip currents carried multiple family members into the water, according to rescue officials.

Rescue teams successfully recovered the girl's mother and sibling from the dangerous surf conditions. However, the 5-year-old remained missing despite extensive search efforts.

Rescue teams faced challenging conditions as they battled swirling and dangerous surf while conducting the search operation in Orange County waters.

The Coast Guard made the decision to suspend active search operations after exhausting available resources and search patterns in the area where the girl was last seen.
