You've rightly let your daughter know that she did the right thing by telling adults about this threatening language. You might also explain to your daughter that sometimes every one of us (kids & adults) feels so angry/jealous that we (all) say things we do not mean. I see no reason to demonize the child nor to prevent your daughter from playing with her AS LONG AS there is no repeat of this kind of language nor any sign that this girl is treating your daughter disrespectfully. If you're worried about your daughter's safety, you needn't be. The little girl wasn't speaking about a real intention to harm your daughter, so don't worry! But the girl was feeling something and she was repeating a phrase that she had heard. If I were her parent, I absolutely would explore those feelings and find out the source of that phrase. But that doesn't have anything to do with you and should not be the topic of gossip.
I hope this helps.
