ISIS is taking credit for the attack which claimed the lives of 22 people.

There was an emotional tribute by British comedian James Corden on The Late Late Show.

“I am telling you a more tight knit group of people you will be hard pressed to find. Strong, proud, caring people with community at its core. And if it was even possible the spirit of the people of Manchester will grow even stronger this evening,” he said as he fought back tears.

Britain's Prime Minister Theresa May was defiant in a statement which read: “All acts of terrorism are cowardly attacks on innocent people but this attack stands out for its appalling sickening cowardice deliberately targeting innocent defenseless young people.”

President Trump spoke out about the bombings during his trip to Israel, saying in a statement he would call the terrorists “losers.”

“I will call them from now on losers because that's what they are they're losers an we'll have more of them but they're losers just remember that,” he said.

Pop stars and celebrities have also taken to social media to express support for Grande as well as their shock and disbelief.

A lot of crying going on here. So much love for Manchester x x x
