She was last heard from at around 1.30pm on Monday, with her final sighting coming at Truro railway station just hours later.
However, Claire’s daughter Lauren released an update today saying her mum had been “found safe”.
In a post on Facebook this evening, she confirmed the good news, thanking people for their help in the search.
She said: “Mum has been found safe.
“Could I please ask as a family you respect our privacy at this time.
“Thank you all once again.”
Cops are yet to confirm, however, if the missing persons appeal has been closed.
Police launched an appeal to find her after they became concerned for her welfare this morning, Tuesday, August 12.
The mum, from St Austell, was believed to be in the Truro area according to cops following enquiries.
She was last heard from around 1.30pm on Monday, August 11.
Her last confirmed sighting was at 3.24pm the same day, as she was leaving Truro train station.
Issuing a plea to her mum earlier today, Claire’s daughter told PlymouthLive: “Mum, if you read this please come home.
“We aren’t mad at you and we all bloody love you!
“You win at hide and seek. Just even send me a message to tell me you’re OK.
“We can get through this. I promise. I love you.”
Claire’s daughter said her mum was “classed as a high-risk missing person”, according to the outlet.
Her daughter also claimed that items belonging to Claire had been found, reports the outlet.
She said: “We found a bag we believe to be hers at the park by the viaduct in Truro.
“We were asked not to continue looking on foot for her due to the police dogs and scents etc.”
