Ariana Grande will stage a benefit concert for victims of the Manchester suicide bombing which killed 22 and left 64 people injured, telling her fans on social media that “we won’t let hate win.”

Grande, 23, posted a heartfelt message of condolence to her official Twitter and Instagram account on Friday.

“I extend my hand and my heart and everything I possibly can give to you and yours, should you want or need my help in any way,” Grande wrote.

An official date for the concert has not been set, but Grande stated the benefit would be organized “In honor of and to raise money for the victims and their families.”

Grande canceled several dates on her tour out of respect for the people who lost their lives and the scores of people that were left injured and maimed after Salman Abedi detonated an improvised nail bomb.

“They will be on my mind and in my heart everyday and I will think of them with everything I do for the rest of my life,” Grande concluded.
