A 6-year-old girl was rushed to Arnold Palmer Hospital after falling off a balcony at Disney World's Animal Kingdom Lodge, the Orange County Sheriff's Office said.

Deputies said the child was trying to reach something Monday night at the Animal Kingdom Lodge Villas, so she moved a small table to the balcony railing, but lost her footing and fell from the third-floor balcony.

The girl fell into the giraffe area of the savannah, but there were no animals present.

Deputies say the girl's father was in the shower at the time, but the mother saw the child fall and tried to grab her, but was unable to get to her in time.

The girl was airlifted to Arnold Palmer Hospital with minor injuries. She was later released from the hospital.

Deputies said the child and her family were visiting Walt Disney World from New York.
