John Legend has shared a powerful tribute to a victim of the terror attack in Manchester that claimed the lives of 22 people.

On Monday, the parents of 15-year-old Olivia Campbell, who died after the explosion at last Monday's Ariana Grande concert, appeared in an interview on Good Morning Britain.

Campbell's parents have previously spoken about their daughter's love of singing. At her memorial service, they played a recording of her covering her favorite song, John Legend's "All of Me."

In the clip above, Legend sends his heartfelt love and sympathy to Campbell's parents.

"I understand that she was a fan of my music and that she sang my song 'All of Me' for a talent show, and that you played it at her memorial service," he says.

"And I wanted to thank you for playing the song and let you know that I was so moved by your daughter's performance of the song. I want to send you as much love as I can send you from far away."
