Most likely the battery was too low to complete the update.
Or, she did it OTA which is NOT reliable enough for updates.
Mine did it via WiFi and used about 8% battery getting it done.
Have her pull the battery as suggested already.
See if she can do a 3 finger restart:
Home Key down, Volume Low depressed, Power ON button last.
It should do a restart and then bring up a menu to allow her to repair the damage.
