Floral Tributes Are Left For The Victims Of The Manchester Arena Terrorist Attack

Ariana Grande is being heavily guarded after the deadly terror attack that happened just minutes after her concert in Manchester, U.K. ended. After the traumatic experience, she chose to stay in her mom Joan's Florida home and law enforcers were dispatched to secure the vicinity where she is staying.

Sources told TMZ that Ariana's mom usually employs more security guards to watch over their place when her pop star daughter is home. However, this time, Joan also requested the local police to give them extra protection due to potential terrorism attempt.

It was reported that two police cars were assigned to monitor the street where Joan's house is located in Boca Raton. The heightened security has been provided to Ariana Grande for 24 hours a day.

The hitmaker postponed a number of performances in Europe after her concert in Manchester Arena which took place on May 22 was bombed. The tragedy killed 22 and hurt dozens of concert-goers.

Following the unfortunate incident, Ariana Grande made a promise to return to Manchester for a fund-raising show. Needless to say, the proceeds will go straight to the victims of the suicide bombing.

Furthermore, Ariana Grande returned to social media to express her grief and condolences to the casualties, injured parties, and their families. It can be recalled that the "Side to Side" singer was devastated after learning that her concert was attacked and many people have died in the arena.

On May 26, she posted a long letter on her Twitter account and one part reads, "There is nothing I or anyone can do to take away the pain you are feeling or to make this better." She continued, "However, I extend my hand and heart and everything I possibly can give to you and yours, should you want or need my help in any way."

Meanwhile, reports suggested that Ariana Grande is flying to Manchester for the benefit show as early as next weekend, June 4. Together with her manager Scooter Braun, they are polishing the concert plans and now gathering artists who will perform with them in the fund-raising event.
