Selena Gomezhas found an inspiring way to distract journalists from focusing on her roller coaster relationship with Justin Bieber.
The 22-year-old star paid a visit to Children's Hospital Los Angeles yesterday, spending time with cancer patients there and bringing a smile to their faces in the process.
"Selena took the time to stop and visit with each one, hear their stories, give hugs, share laughs and provide encouragement," the hospital said via statement. "It was a much-needed lift for these children and their families during an incredibly difficult time."
Gomez wore a “Team Connor" bracelet in honor of one of the sick kids during her time there. She also referred to one of her new friends as a "princess” on Instagram, while posting a couple images from the trip online.
Selena's best friend in show business, Taylor Swift, made a pair of trips to see kids in a couple hospitals this spring.
Back in late March and then early April, Swift took pictures with kids at New York’s Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center and Hasbro Children’s Hospital in Providence.
Gomez, meanwhile, serves as a Celebrity Ambassador for the Ryan Seacrest Foundation.
This organization creates Seacrest Studios within pediatric hospitals so patients can explore the creative realms of radio and television.
It's pretty cool stuff and Selena has made time to visit many of the studios, including one at Children's Medical Center of Dallas.
"Thank you for visiting and spending a special moment with our kids!" Children's Hospital LA tweeted last night. "RT @selenagomez: Spending time with @ChildrensLA :)"
Very well done, Selena Gomez.
