• Kavya Yadav, a 16-year-old YouTuber based in India, reportedly went missing on September 9.
• The YouTuber's parents filmed an emotional plea asking fans to help find her on YouTube.

A 16-year-old YouTuber in India who ran away from home has reportedly been found by authorities, hours after her parents livestreamed a tearful plea for help in a video on her YouTube channel.

Kavya Yadav, known to her 4.3 million YouTube subscribers as "Bindass Kavya," left her home in Maharashtra, India on September 9, according to the Hindustan Times.

A day after she went missing, Yadav's parents posted a livestream on her YouTube channel, which is still available to view, titled, "Bindass Kavya is Missing please search our daughter." The parents could be seen explaining to viewers that they could not locate their daughter, audibly crying as they spoke in Hindi.

"We have been looking for her since last night," and "if anyone sees her, please let us know," Yadav's father said, according to a translation of the clip from local outlet NDTV. The video has now been viewed 4.5 million times.

The parents also posted a tweet from Yadav's account on September 9, where they tagged various accounts belonging to local police and said, "Plz help us our 16 years daughter kavya yadav is missing frm 2pm 9 sept."

Hours after posting their first livestream, Yadav's parents posted a second video where they spoke in Hindi, reportedly saying their daughter had been found and that they were on their way to collect her.

According to the Hindustan Times, Yadav was found on September 10 by the Government Railway Police at a train station in Itarsi, a city in India that is approximately 321 miles away from the YouTuber's home in Aurangabad, Maharashtra.

A tweet posted on September 11 by New Indian Times journalist Anuraag Singh showed a video of the 16-year-old YouTuber being reunited with her parents, who were hugging her and rubbing her back.

According to a report from India Today, Yadav decided to run away from home because her father "scolded" her. "I got angry and I left the house without taking my mobile. I was going to Lucknow by train. Meanwhile, the police caught me," she reportedly said.

The YouTuber's fans have written comments of support under her parents' livestream.

"I'm very happy Kavya is back," wrote one commenter, while another fan said, "Happy to see that kavya is finally came back to home. I never expected this from kavya ur dad and mom are so good."

Yadav is known for posting vlog-style content on YouTube, where she can be seen traveling and spending time with family. She typically speaks in Hindi in her videos but uses both Hindi and English in written posts on her social media accounts.

The Government Railway Police and representatives for Yadav did not immediately respond to Insider's request for comment.
