A full statement from Chief Constable Ian Hopkins has been issued and a hotline set up for those concerned about loved ones: 01618569400 and 01618569900.
The singer and her manager, Scooter Braun, both responded to the event on social media, though it has not yet been confirmed if Grande will continue with the rest of her tour.
