Police have said that a 23-year-old man has been arrested in relation to the bombing, but it is unclear whether the man was arrested during this raid or at another location. Earlier this year, Dearing's daughter watched Fifth Harmony and other acts perform at the NRG Stadium which has a capacity of almost 80,000.

The November attacks also included the Bataclan concert hall, where most of the carnage occurred. Some people who had travelled quite a distance to get to the show were stranded in the city, unable to return home and dependent on the assistance of the authorities, hotels, or local residents.

The 23-year-old told The New Paper she heard sirens throughout the night, but found out about the blast only an hour after it happened.

The chart-topping star, who has a huge following among young girls, spoke of her heartbreak in the wake of the atrocity, which also left 59 people wounded, some with life-threatening injuries. "When it's like two seconds from your house, when you walk past it every day, you do live in fear", Daley said.
