Katy, wearing a baseball cap and hoop earrings, tastefully chose to only film herself and didn't show Ann Pearl's reaction.

She says: 'Grandma, it's Katy. I just wanted to tell you, I know you're not feeling well, but I wanted to share some exciting news with you.

'I'm going to tell you that I'm going to have a baby. I'm pregnant, Grandma!

'Katy is finally pregnant, she's the last one, but I have a baby inside me and I wanted to tell that to you.'

Katy later took to Instagram to post a moving message in tribute to her 'fighter' grandmother.

She posted: '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.

'If she is able to speak with the soul in waiting the conversation would probably include “are sure you wanna pick this wild group?!” There would be most definitely be some sarcasm, a witty quip or two... 

Heartbreaking: 'She was a great grandma and I will forever carry some of her in me', the singer told her fans as she posted a montage of images on her Instagram page

'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.

'Ann Pearl Hudson was a fighter. She survived the Great Depression, raised 3 kids on her own as a seamstress, making G strings for showgirls and other such characters in Vegas.

'She was always authentically herself, funny and full of all the sweet cozy things you think of when you think of grandmas.

'She gave me crisp dollar bills in hallmark cards, she let us eat her favorite almond cookies from the 99 cent store while we asked questions about the different fans she had on display on her walls.

'She was a great grandma and I will forever carry some of her in me.

'When my whit comes out, that’s Ann. When my authenticity comes out, that’s Ann. When my stubbornness comes out, hell, that’s Ann. When my fighter spirit comes out, that’s Ann. When my style comes out, that’s Ann.

'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.'

The star's sassy grandmother became extremely popular with fans after appearing in her 3D concert film Part Of Me. 

She had earned a legion of admirers for her quick witted replies and sarcastic sense of humour displayed in the fly-on-the-wall tour documentary. 

Quizzed what Katy was like growing up, Ann replied, 'A show-off... an attention-getter!' 

Recalling the star's younger years, her grandma memorably joked: 'I remember I went one time to babysit and I had to keep them for the weekend. It was awful.' 

Katy also regularly took her beloved grandmother along to awards shows as her plus one. 

The superstar is currently in Australia, where she performed at the Women's Cricket World Cup Final in Melbourne.

The singer was midway through performing her hit Wide Awake at the closing ceremony on Sunday when she revealed what gender she wants her baby to be.

Pausing for a moment, Katy surprised fans by declaring, 'I hope it's a girl!' 

The pop star announced her pregnancy last Wednesday, showing off her bump in her new music video Never Worn White.

Just minutes after the world premiere, she tweeted she was glad to finally be able to come clean about her secret, writing: 'omg so glad I don't have to suck it in anymore, or carry around a big purse lol.'  

Less than an hour later, Perry confirmed she was in fact expecting her first child with fiancé Orlando Bloom in an Instagram Live video, admitting it is 'probably the longest secret' she has 'ever had to keep'.

'There's a lot that will be happening this summer, not only will I be giving birth - literally - but also figuratively to something you guys have been waiting for,' she said in the clip.  

The Firework hitmaker admitted she and Bloom are ecstatic about their bundle of joy, as well as her new music.

'So let's call it a double whammy, a two fore,' she added. 'I'm excited, we're excited and we're happy - and it's probably the longest secret I've ever had to keep.'

'I knew I would tell you in the best way, which is through a piece of music because that's how I speak to you.' 

It is the first child for Katy and British actor Orlando, 43, who has a son, Flynn, nine, with former model Miranda Kerr.

Katy and Orlando first started dating in early 2016, but split in February 2017.

The couple reconciled in April 2018, and the Pirates of the Caribbean star popped the question in a romantic Valentine's Day proposal the following year.

Following her pregnancy news, the star was overjoyed by the positive reaction from her fans.

She wrote on Twitter: 'love u guys so much. was a bit nervous about sharing something so personal like the song n the bump n I hv never gotten this much love n support, it's overwhelmingly lovely. thank u (sic)'.
