Ariana Grande announces return to Manchester for benefit concert to raise money for victims' families

Ariana Grande is returning to Manchester.

The "Dangerous Woman" singer took to Twitter on Friday to share a lengthy letter of support to her fans that proclaimed that "our response to this violence must be to come closer together, to help each other, to love more, to sing louder and to live more kindly and generously than we did before."

Grande announced that she'll "be returning to the incredibly brave city of Manchester to spend time with my fans and to have a benefit concert in honor of and to raise money for the victims and their families."

The announcement comes less than a week after 22 people were killed after a suicide bombing following Grande's concert at Manchester Arena in Manchester, England on Monday night. Over 100 others were injured in the explosion, and kids and teens were among those that were killed in the fatal attack.

"I have been thinking about my fans, and of you all, non stop over the past week," she continued. "The way you have handled all of this has been more inspiring and made me more proud than you'll ever know. The compassion, kindness, love, strength and oneness that you've shown one another this past week is the exact opposite of the heinous intentions it must take to pull of something as evil as what happened Monday."

She went on to note that she put the Dangerous Woman Tour together as "a safe space for my fans. A place for them to escape, to celebrate, to heal, to feel safe and to be themselves." And on Monday, that place was torn apart.

Friday's statement is the second time Grande has taken to Twitter to respond to the devastating bombing. Late on Monday night, the singer had taken to Twitter to say that the attack left her "broken."

In a subsequent tweet, Grande linked to a JustGiving page that, in partnership with BritishRedCross, will raise "£2,000,000 to support families of those killed and injured in the Manchester Arena attack."

After the incident, Grande flew back to her home in Boca Raton, Florida on a private plane reportedly lent to her by Taylor Swift, where she was greeted by her boyfriend Mac Miller. Sources close to the star said that she was an "emotional mess" following the massacre.

"Children died at her concert," the source said. "She can't process that. She goes from being very quiet to crying hysterically."

Many of Grande's peers have rallied behind her in the days since the bombing, including friends and past collaborators like Miley Cyrus, Nicki Minaj and Katy Perry.

On Friday, Cyrus revealed on the "Today" show that the bombing after Grande's concert has forced her to reconsider how she approaches live shows and how many people she keeps around her at any given time.

"I'm someone that, I don't like a lot of people around. I don't usually have the team and crew around me," Cyrus explained. "I like to lay really low-key. So, now I realize that I need to know that I'm around a lot of people and to protect myself and protect everyone that's here."

Cyrus had also dedicated her performance on "The Voice" earlier this week to Grande and the victims of the Manchester attack.
