TAMPA, Fla. — A 9-year-old girl in Tampa was found safe early Friday morning after she was reported missing the night before.

ABC Action News is no longer naming the girl or showing her photo now that she has been found safe.

The sheriff's office initially said the girl was last seen around 7 p.m. walking away from her home in the 1400 block of Autumn Drive in the Village of Tampa mobile home park.

The sheriff's office said she was walking to a friend's house after she told her friends she planned to run away after she got into an argument with her brother.

Authorities didn't release any additional information on when exactly or where she was found on Friday.
