The photos capture Matilda playing with bubbles with her youngest sister at 6.45pm, just minutes before bullets sprayed across the event, causing her to be fatally shot.
“She’s just an innocent girl that has nothing to do with all this evil in the world,” Mr Glazer told 9News.
“All she wanted to do was have fun with her family, friends and little sister.
“She just died for no reason.”
Matilda, was the youngest victim of the horror Bondi Beach attack which claimed the lives of 15 innocent people as they celebrated the first day of Hannukah.
Her cousin, Russell Tevelson told 9News about her joyous spirit, “she would laugh at times you shouldn’t be laughing or smile when there’s nothing really worth smiling about.”
“Whenever she would hug you, she would hug the back of your neck really, really tight,” Mr Tevelson said.
