In her heartbreaking last TikTok, Charlotte sways to the music in front of the camera, smiling as she sings along to Amy Winehouse’s Tears Dry On Their Own.
The short video, shared just five days before the fatal blaze, shows the educated-teen Brit dressed up and ready to go out.
At one point, she playfully reaches towards the camera, grinning as she continues mouthing the lyrics.
Heartbroken strangers and friends flooded the comments beneath the post, calling her “beautiful” and leaving tributes after news of her death broke.Banker ‘saved ten youngsters’ from Swiss fire after daughter begged for help
Charlotte had been staying at the resort while working as a babysitter, something she did “very often”, according to the resort’s website.
She was one of dozens of teenagers killed when a suspected sparkler ignited the ceiling of the Constellation bar shortly after 1.30am on New Year’s Day.
Some 119 people were injured, many suffering severe burns.
In a moving statement released on social media, Charlotte’s family said: “It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our beautiful daughter and sister, Charlotte.
“Thank you for all your support those last few days.”
Police have now formally identified all 40 victims of the fire.
The dead range in age from 14 to 39, with teenagers making up more than half of the death toll.
Some 26 of the 40 victims were teenagers, including a 14-year-old French national and a 14-year-old from Switzerland.
In total, 21 of those who died were Swiss, seven were French and six were Italian.
Others came from Romania, Turkey, Portugal and Belgium, as well as one Swiss-French dual national.
Grief-stricken mum Laetitia Brodard-Sitre, who spent days desperately searching for her missing son Arthur, 16, confirmed he was among the victims.
She said: “Our Arthur has now left to party in paradise.”
Images of missing teenagers – many later confirmed dead – were shared widely on social media as families begged for information.

Promising Swiss boxer Benjamin Johnson, 18, and bouncer Stefan Ivanović, 31, who helped save several revellers, were also named among the dead.
Italian teen Chiara Costanzo, 16, became another identified victim after her father Andrea told Il Corriere della Sera: “my beloved Chiara is no more”.
Her identification followed that of Italian 17-year-old golf prodigy Emanuele Galeppini.
The keen golfer’s Instagram features a photo of him posing with Rory McIlroy, captioned: “Pic of the year”.
The blaze is one of the worst disasters in recent Swiss history and has triggered a nationwide outpouring of grief.
Switzerland will hold a national day of mourning this week.
More than 2,000 mourners have already walked in silence through the resort in a poignant procession.
Flags flew at half-mast as mourners wiped away tears during an emotional church service held in German, French and Italian.
The crowd then slowly walked towards a makeshift shrine near the destroyed bar to pay their respects.
Prosecutors believe the fire began when “fountain candle” sparklers were held too close to the ceiling.
The region’s chief prosecutor said the sparklers likely ignited acoustic insulation foam fitted during renovation work in 2015.
The bar’s French owners, Jacques and Jessica Moretti, are now under formal criminal investigation for manslaughter by negligence, bodily harm by negligence and arson by negligence.
Champagne sparklers reportedly held aloft by waitresses caused a flashover fire that engulfed the venue within seconds.
The police probe will also examine the use of fire extinguishers, emergency exits and safety equipment.
One former waitress claimed the emergency exit was always locked.
Final days until new 5 mph speed limit law goes into effect
The Morettis, who bought the bar a decade ago, briefly broke cover over the weekend after announcing: “We can neither sleep nor eat, we are all very unwell.”
Jacques and Jessica Moretti are being investigated on suspicion of manslaughter by negligence, bodily harm by negligence, and arson by negligence.
