Six-year-old girl with body of an old woman

 Six-year-old Adalia Rose Williams, who suffers from the rare condition progeria, with her mother Natalia Amozurrutia

  

Like most six-year-old girls, Adalia Rose Williams enjoys singing, dancing and dressing up.

But unlike many her age, her innocent pastimes have made her one of the most famous, yet unassuming, youngsters in the world.

She currently has nearly 6million Facebook fans, an inbox packed full of thousands of e-mails and is inundated with hundreds of letters.

Yet her emergence into the public eye has also brought its fair share of unwanted attention. She has been subjected to vile abuse and has even been the victim of a death hoax.

That's because she suffers from a rare condition called progeria that is making her tiny body age several times faster than normal. 

The average lifespan for a sufferer is just 13 years.
The illness means she weighs just 14lbs - about the same as her baby brother Marcelo. She is bald and other children sometimes mistake her for a boy.
