Stella Berry Wiki – Bio
Stella Berry, a 16-year-old girl killed by a shark while swimming in a river in Western Australia (WA) has been identified.
The schoolgirl was pronounced dead after being pulled from the Swan River in Perth on Saturday. Stella was riding jet skis with friends when she jumped into the water to swim with dolphins and was attacked, police say. In a statement, her parents said they were “devastated and deeply shocked.” Matt and Sophie Berry said their daughter was a “happy, vibrant little girl” who loved water and art.
“She was a loving person and a dear friend to many…a beautiful and loving older sister and the best daughter we could have hoped for.” One of her friends, Lara Connolly, told the Australian Broadcasting Corporation that Stella was “the sweetest, smartest girl she knew”. “She was very kind,” Lara said.

Shark attack victim has been identified as Stella Berry
Authorities are investigating what type of shark was involved, but the WA Fisheries Minister said a bull shark was “likely”. The government will consider what could be done to prevent similar incidents, Don Punch said. “Shark barriers is something we are always open to discussing with the local government.”
Fisheries experts say finding sharks in that part of the Swan River is unusual, and the attack is the first fatal attack on the river in 100 years. Historically, dying from a shark bite is not common. In over a century of records, Australia’s shark attack death rate is 0.9, less than one person per year. There were two fatal shark attacks in 2021 and seven in 2020.
