Copy over the footer and the modified function you have, change the name:

function hesta_bottom_footer_content -> function hesta_bottom_footer_content_child

i am guessing there is a hook somewhere like this right?

add_action( 'hestia_do_footer', 'hesta_bottom_footer_content', 10, 2 );

add your own the same way, like this:

add_action( 'hestia_do_footer_child', 'hesta_bottom_footer_content_child', 10, 2 );

in your footer call your own action:

so your modified function will be called instead of the parent one.

You need to modify 2 functions not only 1 in your functions.php:

/**
 * Function to display footer content.
 *
 * @since 1.1.24
 * @access public
 */
//ADDED CHILD TO THE END OF THE NAME
function hestia_the_footer_content_child() {
    /**
     * Array holding all registered footer widgets areas
     */
    $hestia_footer_widgets_ids = array( 'footer-one-widgets', 'footer-two-widgets', 'footer-three-widgets' );
    $hestia_footer_class = 'col-md-4';
    $footer_has_widgets = false;
    $hestia_nr_footer_widgets = get_theme_mod( 'hestia_nr_footer_widgets','3' );

    /**
     *  Enabling alternative footer style
     */
    $footer_style = '';
    $footer_style = get_theme_mod( 'hestia_alternative_footer_style', 0 );
    if ( isset( $footer_style ) && $footer_style == 0 ) {
        $footer_style = 'footer-black';
    } else {
        $footer_style = '';
    }

    /**
     *  Get the widgets areas ids and class corresponding to the number selected by the user
     */
    if ( ! empty( $hestia_nr_footer_widgets ) ) {
        $hestia_footer_widgets_ids = array_slice( $hestia_footer_widgets_ids, 0, $hestia_nr_footer_widgets );
        switch ( $hestia_nr_footer_widgets ) {
            case 1:
                $hestia_footer_class = 'col-md-12';
                break;
            case 2:
                $hestia_footer_class = 'col-md-6';
                break;
            case 3:
                $hestia_footer_class = 'col-md-4';
                break;
            case 4:

Now in footer.php we call our action:

Even if you modified the function, the actual function of the copyright was being called by another function, so you need to make your own version of that one too so it calls your modified function.
