Katy Perry shares moving moment she gave grandma baby news before she passed away at 99
KATY Perry has shared the heartbreakingly poignant moment she told her grandmother she was pregnant before she passed away at 99.
The Teenage Dream singer revealed she was expecting a tot with fiance, Orlando Bloom, earlier this month.
It will be the 35-year-old's first child and she has gushed how they are looking forward to the new arrival after letting slip the big news during scenes for her new music video.
They showed a blonde-haired Katy wearing a flowing, figure-hugging pink mesh skirt and cuddling her baby bump.
While the scenes for the Never Worn White video were the first time her fans learned of the happy news, her close family and friends were let in on the secret way before.
This included her grandmother, Ann Pearl Hudson, who sadly passed away yesterday.
Katy showed the exact moment she told Ann she was expecting in a touching video on her Instagram page.
The black and white scenes saw her wearing a baseball cap as she gently said: "Grandma, it's Katy.
"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."
Ann's reaction remained hidden from view yet undoubtedly she was overjoyed.
Yesterday, Katy took to Twitter to announce Ann's sad passing.
Posting the song Deep Peace (Choral Version) by Bill Douglas, Katy wrote: “a song for Grandma. May she rest in deep peace. Ann Pearl Hudson."
