Katy Perry Pens Heartfelt Message After Grandmother Dies, 'They Have Gained An Angel'

Just days after Katy Perry shared the exciting news that she's expecting a child with Orlando Bloom, the "American Idol" judge's paternal grandmother, Ann Pearl Hudson, died at age 99.

"I don’t know when a soul enters a new vehicle but if there is an afterlife where there’s a waiting room of the coming and going my mind wonders if the soul that is waiting to come into my world is getting a kiss on the forehead from my sweet Grandma that departed this earth yesterday. My heart hopes so," Perry wrote via an Instagram post on Monday.

"If she is able to speak with the soul in waiting the conversation would probably include 'are sure you wanna pick this wild group?!,'" the caption continued. "There would most definitely be some sarcasm, a witty quip or two... tbh grandma probably had a glass of her favorite blush wine ready upon arrival to this afterlife... and a most fashionable look, jewels included, naturally."

"A lot of what I am is because of my father... and he is because of her. She started it all, as she used to remind us and I’m so grateful she did. Family... is there to show us what love can be... sometimes that journey of finding the love is tough to get to AND through but if you can open your heart and let the light lead the way you will find that incomparable love," the "Never Worn White" singer shared.

Perry went on to describe her grandmother as a "fighter" who made it through the Great Depression and raised three children all by herself by "making G strings for showgirls and other such characters in Vegas."

The 35-year-old entertainer attributed a lot of her qualities, like her whit, authenticity, and stubbornness to her grandmother and reminisced on "all the sweet cozy things you think of when you think of grandmas," including getting "crisp dollar bills" and eating cookies.

"She was a wonderful grandma and I will forever carry some of her in me," she wrote. "May she rest in deep peace and kiss the forehead of the soul to come and let them know everything is gonna be OK, especially now that they have gained an angel to look over them."
