Ariana Grande shared some brief thoughts shortly after the Manchester attack at her concert that left 22 dead and 59 injured earlier this week, but today she's expanded on those a lot in a new statement. "There is nothing I or anyone can do to take away the pain you are feeling or to make this better," she writes. "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." She also says that she'll do a Manchester benefit concert in honor of the victims and their families at a later date. Grande drew attention to a donation page to raise money to help support the families of those harmed in the attack. Read her statement below.
