“We know that Manchester, and in particular the Royal Manchester Children’s Hospital, holds a special place in Ariana’s heart,” she added.
Grande’s generous donation comes more than five years after several people were killed at her concert at Manchester Arena.
On May 22, 2017, a suicide bomber detonated a bomb in the arena lobby near the end of his show, killing 22 people and injuring over 500 others.
After the fatal incident, Grande suspended the rest of her “Dangerous Woman” tour and took a two-week hiatus.
Two weeks after the deadly bombing, Grande held a benefit concert, raising more than $13 million for victims and survivors.
