Beyoncé sends flowers to grieving family after the death of a fan
Beyoncé has paid her respects to the family of a young Australian fan, Chelsea Lee James, who died last week after a long battle with cancer.
The Halo singer sent 90 white roses and a personally signed card to the girl’s mother, Donna on Thursday.
The card read: “Donna, love and prayers to you and your family. Chelsea was a beautiful girl and I am so happy I was able to meet her. She touched my heart and I will never forget her.”
During a concert in Sydney in 2009, Beyoncé brought Chelsea onto the stage and sang Halo to her, in front of an audience of more than 20,000 people.
Beyoncé met Chelsea for a second time last year, after a children’s charity organised a backstage meeting during the Mrs Carter world tour.
Chelsea, who was 15-years-old at the time of her death, passed away surrounded by family and friends, after being rushed to hospital when her condition deteriorated.
