This is so painful for a parent to witness. How old is she? I suspect once she's in middle school and can join clubs, she'll find her people. Also, you can try to find summer camps where finding kids who are more like her, or at least share her interests, is easier.
My youngest was lonely in fifth grade. I kept telling him middle school would be different. I told him he would find his people eventually, even if it took years. It's hard for them to see beyond "right now," but I wanted to offer that possibility anyway, so that my ds could see there was an end to his loneliness.
This year, he's skipped into 7th, navigated through having to get to know a new class of kids, and has made some great friends who share his interests.
I hope your dd gets through this difficult time quickly.
