GENEROUS: Ariana has reportedly offered to pay for the funerals of the victims

At an Ariana concert at the MEN Arena in Manchester on Monday night, 22 people were killed and 59 injured when a nail bomb was detonated in the foyer by 22-year-old Salman Abedi.

Victims of the tragedy include Ariana superfan Georgina Callander, eight-year-old Saffie Rose Roussos, Tattoo Fixers star and Corrie fan Martyn Hett and 15-year-old Olivia Campbell.
