She has since suspended her Dangerous Woman tour and returned home to Boca Raton, Florida with her mother.

A source told E! News,

They were met at the airport by Ariana's boyfriend, Mac Miller. When Ariana got off the plane, Mac greeted her on the tarmac with a long hug followed by a kiss. Mac also gave Ariana's mom a hug. It was a very emotional reunion and they stood talking for a minute before getting into the car. Ariana looked exhausted and like she didn't get much sleep. She seemed like she just wanted to get home and be with her loved ones.

All of the victims have not yet been named. The first to be identified was 18-year-old Georgina Callander.
