A toddler has died in hospital from injuries she suffered when she was allegedly bashed at a home in Sydney's west this week, police say.

Police allege Mr Khazma physically assaulted the little girl on Monday afternoon in a granny flat in Marian Street, Guildford.
The relationship between Mr Khazma, who had allegedly met the girl's mother only a few weeks ago, and the toddler cannot be detailed for legal reasons.
It's understood the mother was present when Mr Khazma allegedly physically assaulted the child. She was able to intervene and leave the granny flat with her daughter in her car.
The mother drove to a relative's home in McCredie Road, Guildford West, where neighbours reported hearing a woman screaming, "You have killed my baby!"Â

"It's shocking for the community, it's shocking for the police attending ... It's difficult to comprehend."
Police set up crime scenes at both the house and the granny flat.
Mr Khazma was originally charged with reckless assault causing grievous bodily harm, and he did not apply for bail when his case was mentioned in Parramatta Local Court on Tuesday.
A NSW Police spokeswoman said the charges were expected to be upgraded to murder at Mr Khazma's next court appearance on January 12.
