The wife of a man who died trying to save his daughter in a house fire has described her husband as a "brave hero".
Andrew Broadhead, 42, and eight-year-old Kiera died in the blaze in Wakefield, West Yorkshire, on Wednesday, which police believe was started deliberately.
Sara Broadhead and her daughter Mia, 12, paid tribute to the pair when they visited the scene at the house on Ash Crescent, in Stanley.
Mrs Broadhead, 35, said: "Andy was a brave hero who managed to save the lives of his wife and eldest daughter. Unfortunately he couldn't save our youngest daughter Kiera and gave his own life trying to save hers.
"He was a very kind man and Kiera was a vibrant, independent loving girl. Our whole family are absolutely devastated by their loss.
"If Andy and Kiera were here they would be overwhelmed by the kindness and support they have been shown.
"We just want to thank everyone in the community and everyone who has supported us so far."
Mia left a letter to her father and sister among the tributes which have been placed at the scene.
It read: "To daddy and sissy Kiera, I love you to the moon and much more. I miss you like there's none of me left. Come back, come back, we need you."
Firefighters were called to the blaze, which West Yorkshire Police believe may have started after a substance was poured through the letterbox, at around 4.20am on Wednesday.
Police said Mrs Broadhead and Mia escaped through a bedroom window but Mr Broadhead stayed in the house to try to save Kiera.
Post-mortem examination results have revealed that both died as a result of smoke and fire gas inhalation.
Police launched a murder inquiry following the deaths and said it was possible the person responsible for starting the fire may have been burned in the process.
Detective Chief Inspector Nicola Bryar said: "A number of active inquiries remain under way as we try and determine just why someone would want to start this terrible fire.
"It is has clearly had appalling consequences for Sara, Mia and their whole family, and is difficult to imagine the trauma they are going through.
"We need, and they need, to know why this has happened and I would appeal again to anyone who has information to come forward.
"A 12 -year-old girl has been robbed of a father and a sister and a wife of a husband and a daughter and someone will know why this has happened and who is responsible.
"I would ask that person to come forward and speak to us at the Homicide and Major Enquiry Team."
