AceShowbiz - Camila Cabello and Ryan Seacrest made dreams come true in a visit to a children's hospital.
The 21-year-old singer, and the TV presenter, 43, were greeted by stunned patients during the event hosted by The Ryan Seacrest Foundation at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia on Friday, July 13.
Cabello, who was in the city to perform later that day at the Lincoln Financial Field as one of the support acts at Taylor Swift's Reputation World Tour, was given a tour o the hospital's media centre, Seacrest Studios.
The singer performed her hit track Havana to the patients and staff, and later shared photos from her visit on Instagram.
"The Ryan Seacrest Foundation does a beautiful thing for the kids in Philly's Children's Hospital," Cabello wrote. "Kids that are being treated at the hospital get to be themselves, express their dreams and voices, and have something fun to look forward to so they don't feel defined by what's going on in their lives at this moment.
"Today I heard a conversation between parents of a little girl at the hospital and @ryanseacrest, the parents told him how much the foundation helped their child – instead of talking about doctors and treatments, she was talking about how excited she was for the next karaoke competition at the studio downstairs," she continued. "So thankful for foundations like these that make lives so much better, so thankful for kids like these – with so much talent, spunk, knowledge, and spirit in spite of their everyday battles – thank you @ryanseacrest @ryanfoundation for having me."
The American Idol host launched his non-profit organisation, The Ryan Seacrest Foundation, in 2010, and his Seacrest Studios now feature in children's hospitals across the U.S., including Atlanta, Los Angeles, Boston and Colorado.
Seacrest said back in 2016 that he wanted to create a useful distraction for kids who were receiving treatment in the hospital.
"It's remarkable to see how when the kids are talking to some of their favourite stars, creating their own shows, doing their own interviews, they really forget some of the tough stuff that's happening in the hospital," he told People.
