Ayoung bride-to-be is believed to have died in the Grenfell Tower fire after refusing to leave her elderly parents.
Her brothers did the same and are also thought to have perished in the blaze.
A relative told The Times Hosna Begum, 22, and her brothers, Hanif, 26, and Hamid, 29, refused to leave their mother, Rabeya, and father, Kamru Miah, who was 82, during the deadly fire.
They perished in their flat on the 17th floor as flames raged around them.
Their cousin Samir Ahmad, 18, said: "They stayed with their mum and dad. Family was so important to them. They lived together and they died together.
"Their dad could barely walk anyway. What were they going to do? Abandon him?"
"My auntie spoke to Hanif. He was very calm. He said his time had come, and not to mourn for them, but be happy for them because they would be in a better place.
"Hats off to them. They didn't show cowardice. They stayed with their mum and dad. Family was so important to them. They lived together and they died together."
He said the family made their last phone call at 3.10am.
One of the brothers in the family survived because he had recently moved out.
Abdul Khan, another cousin in the family told the Mail Online last week that Hosna Begum was due to get married in three weeks.
