"Woke up to the news that my Grandpa Perry passed away early this morning," Lovato told her fans on Instagram.

But that's the reality during this pandemic."

"This man loved God FIERCELY and was one of the best preacher's I've ever had the honor in witnessing spread the word of God," the 27-year-old star's message continued. "I love you Grandpa. I'm sorry we didn't take more pictures together but I have so many memories to make me smile until we meet again someday. Rest easy. Love you."
