According to People, the girl’s mother, Debbie, died in June and was also a Pink fan.

The 38-year-old singer walked over to talk with Murphy and hugged her. He also took a selfie with the youngster and told her that it was going to be okay.

Speaking to the show Sunrise in Australia, the teenager said that she was enjoying herself in the concert when she heard Pink calling out her name.

"I was crying a lot, and she was like, 'Oh, don't cry.' She was like 'You look so pretty' and she was really nice [telling me], 'Everything is going to be OK.'"

The gesture lifted the spirits of the young girl after losing her mother. She reminisced about how she and her mother used to sing Pink’s songs together and dance around the house.

Murphy’s father, Chris Murphy, described the moment as “unbelievable.” He believed that the singer’s genuine concern was visible in the photos and lifted the spirits of the entire family.

According to Shared, Debbie had purchased the tickets for the concert in Sydney. Unfortunately, she passed away months before the event.

Murphy’s aunt, Katrina, said that the singer’s music and lyrics were probably helping her in the grieving process.
