FANTASTIC NEWS … Both hikers have now been found safe who went missing Easter Sunday.

Rescue crews hoisted an injured Kyndall Jack into a helicopter Thursday after she was discovered clinging to the side of a cliff in the Trabuco Canyon area.

It had been four days since she went missing while hiking with a friend, 19-year-old Nicholas Cendoya.

When searchers found Cendoya dehydrated and exhausted on Wednesday night, he said they’d become separated and he hadn’t seen her recently.

But on Thursday, Jack’s voice secured her rescue, after her screams caught the attention of a search team.

They summoned additional rescuers and a helicopter, which eventually located the 18-year-old under a canopy of brush high on a hillside.
