Katy Perry revealed Monday (March 9) that her grandmother had passed away.
“Ann Pearl Hudson was a fighter,” Perry wrote alongside a series of pics of her and her grandmother throughout the years. “She was always authentically herself, funny and full of all the sweet cozy things you think of when you think of grandmas. She gave me crisp dollar bills in hallmark cards, she let us eat her favorite almond cookies from the 99 cent store while we asked questions about the different fans she had displayed on her walls. She was a wonderful grandma and I will forever carry some of her in me.”

Along with those pictures were also some videos, one of which was especially touching in light of her grandmother’s death. In the video, Perry is seen sitting at her grandmother’s bed as she tells her that she is going to have a baby.
“Grandma, it’s Katy,” Perry says. “I just wanted to tell you, I know you’re not feeling well, but I wanted to share some exciting news with you. I’m going to tell you that I’m going to have a baby. I’m pregnant, Grandma. Katy is finally pregnant, she’s the last one, but I have a baby inside me and I wanted to tell that to you.”
Fans will recall that it was just last week when Perry announced the news that she and fiancée Orlando Bloom were expecting their first child together.
“May she rest in deep peace and kiss the forehead of the soul to come and let them know everything is gonna be OK, especially now that they have gained an angel to look over them,” Perry concluded in the touching Instagram post about her grandmother.
