Pop singer Ariana Grande has touched hearts by sending a surprise gift package to nine-year-old influencer Brie Bird, who is currently battling stage 4 cancer.

On August 7, Brie Bird shared a video on her social media documenting the heartfelt moment when she received a care package from Ariana Grande. Dressed in a pink dress, Bird joyfully unboxed two large packages, breaking into a beaming smile as she discovered a Glinda Funko Pop doll from the movie "Wicked."

Inside the boxes sent by Grande were numerous thoughtful gifts: plush toys featuring characters from "The Wizard of Oz" and "Wicked," two different Glinda figurines, Brie’s favorite Squishmallow pillow, and a stuffed rabbit dressed as Glinda. The package also included a manicure set, products from Grande’s beauty brand R.E.M., her signature Cloud perfume, and a handwritten letter from Ariana herself.

As Brie unwrapped each item, she expressed her gratitude, exclaiming, “Thank you so much, Ariana!” Her happiness shone through as she added, “I especially love the Squishmallow, all the presents, and the perfume.”

At the end of the video, Grande surprised Brie with a special video message. “I heard you love Wicked and Glinda, so I put together this small care package for you,” Grande shared. “I love Squishmallows too—they’re just so cute and comfy.”

Grande went on to reassure Brie, saying, “You are the most wonderful, inspiring, and radiant person in the world. Thank you for being yourself, and I am sending lots of love and hugs your way.” She concluded with the heartfelt wish, “I hope these gifts put a smile on your face.”

Bird’s family also expressed their gratitude, posting a message on-screen: “Our sincerest thanks to Ariana for making her wish come true. We love and respect you.”
