-


Help poured in for victims of the deadly bombing at the concert of US pop singer Ariana Grande  at the Manchester Arena in England last Monday night, according to a report by The Telegraph.

Police said that 19 people were killed while scores were hurt in the deadly explosion which police believed was caused by a suicide bomber.

Grande, who will hold a concert in the Philippines on August 21, was not injured in the blast, according to her representative.

Several people in the area took to social media to offer lifts and accommodations in need after trains were cancelled at the Victoria Station, the Telegraph added.


Some of the tweets that offered help:

"If anyone needs shelter we are right on the outskirts of central Manchester in Salford, anything I can do to help DM me!! #ManchesterArena," said Karolina Stenieka on Twitter.

"Anyone in Manchester who needs to wait for their parents or needs somewhere stay or to make phone calls, etc, just DM me. We have tea!" said Simon Clancy.

"#Manchester. DM me if you need somewhere to go, to use a landline, to have a tea and sit down. Anything. Northern Quarter-Oldham street," said Louise Benson.

"#RoomforManchester if anybody needs somewhere to stay - we have plenty of spare beds & blankets + an unlimited supply of tea. Please DM," said Rosie Connor.

Grande is currently on tour for her "Dangerous Woman" show that would also take her to Europe and Asia.

The 23-year-old singer is know for her hit songs "Problem," "One Last Time," "Focus," "Bang Bang," etc. Her latest single is the remake of "Beauty and the Beast" with John Legend.

"Ariana is OK. We are further investigating what happened," Joseph Carozza, Grande's publicist with Republic Records, told the LA Times.

Universal Music Group said in a statement on Facebook: "We are deeply saddened to learn of tonight's devastating event in Manchester. Our thoughts and prayers are with all those affected by this tragedy."

The incident happened Monday night following Grande's performance at the Manchester Arena as concert goers were leaving the venue, around 10:30 p.m. local time, CNN International said. - ROBERT REQUINTINA
