Tragedy struck an Ariana Grande show in Manchester, England, late Monday night in a blast that killed 22 people and hurt 59 more.

Some victims are still missing.

Authorities report an 8-year-old girl is among the fatalities. ISIS claimed responsibility for the attack, but there is no evidence gathered by authorities of a link between the terror group and the attack. A 23-year-old man was arrested in Manchester in connection with the attack earlier today, according to NBC.

According to authorities, one lone bomber set off the bomb close to the exit of the arena after Ariana Grande left the stage.

Grande released a statement to the public via Twitter, expressing her sorrow over the incident.

Worried people are trying to locate loved ones who may have been at the show using Twitter. Facebook has also set up a check-in online to allow fans to let people know they’re safe. Greater Manchester Police have also created a hotline.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to the victims and their families at this time.
