Yazmina Howard was just three when her mother, Maxine Carr, leaped from the balcony of their home in Maidstone, Kent, with her in her arms.
While Maxine, 33, tragically died following the seven-storey plunge, her daughter survived with broken bones to her arms, ribs, jaw and skull.
But a decade and a half after surviving the tragedy, Yazmina lost her life this week, aged just 18, when she plunged from the bridge over the M20.
The "beautiful" and "emotional" college student was pronounced dead at the scene after falling from the bridge in Larkfield, Kent, on Monday.
A loved one said she and her mum are now "angels together"Police say Yazmina's death is "not being treated as suspicious".
The earlier tragedy, in which Maxine died, occurred on August 1, 2003.
An inquest into the mum's death, held the following year, heard her motivation for jumping from the top-floor balcony was "unclear".
The hearing was told she had worried her ex-partner Ivan Delgardo planned on kidnapping her daughter and taking her to live in his native Spain.
Tributes have now been paid to Yazmina - who was studying art, maths and multimedia at a college in Maidstone - following this week's incident.
Gran Janet Howard said she was a 'beautiful girl'.
Janet said Yazmina, whom she had adopted, had texted her just half an hour before she fell from the bridge after going out for pizza with a pal.
