Ariana Grande mourns grandfather: 'I've lost my favourite person to ever exist'

Ariana Grande has paid tribute to her late grandfather.

The singer confirmed on Wednesday (July 23) that her grandad Frank had passed away.

She has since honoured her relative on Twitter with a series of moving messages, calling him her "favourite person to ever exist".

Grande said: "Thank you for your continuous love & light over the past few weeks...we did lose my favorite person to ever exist yesterday, my grandpa.

"If only y'all knew how amazing he was.. my [heart] hurts so much. It's beyond broken :'( but I got to hold his hand and watch him find his peace. This is the hardest thing imaginable but I'm so grateful that I got to spend this time with him & my family. Taking care of him & loving him. We thank you so much for the continuous love."

The US star later added some photos of herself with her grandfather.
