It's good she's taking healthy steps.
Ariana Grande is getting help to deal with ex-boyfriend Mac Miller's tragic death from an overdose earlier this month, and she's also turning to friends and family for extra support.
"Ariana is taking Mac’s death really rough, and her mother has been staying with her right now. She’s in therapy," a source dished to Radar.
The "No Tears Left To Cry" songstress has also reached out to the late rapper's family to express her condolences and share in their pain.
"Ariana has been in contact with his family, and is doing everything she can to honor him,†the source added.
After she and fiance Pete Davidson pulled out of their Emmys appearance, her rep explained that between Mac's passing and the terrorist attack at her Manchester concert last year, she needed time to process all the tragedy.
"Given the events of the past couple of years, Ariana is going to take some much-needed time to heal and mend. She will be staying close to home and using this period to spend time with her loved ones and work on new music without deadline. She thanks her fans for their understanding," the statement read.
This poor girl has been dealt quite a few blows in a short amount of time.
Kanye West shocked fans during an event in Chicago yesterday by announcing that he plans on moving back to the Windy City!
"I gotta let y'all know that I'm moving back to Chicago and I'm never leaving again," he told the crowd.
Apparently, 'Ye wants to set up a permanent residence there with wife Kim and their kids, and he's also relocating the Yeezy offices from Calabasas to Chi town.
For those of you wondering... this doesn't mean Kimmy K has to leave behind her beloved Calabasas! The couple will keep all their properties in LA, and simply bounce around from the Midwest to the west coast. This sounds great and all, but eventually they're going to have to pick a home base, as their brood will have to go to school!
In other Yeezus news, he's set to be the musical guest on the premiere of SNL on September 29th, and Girls star Adam Driver will host. He's ready to be back in the spotlight!

Julie Chen is reportedly quitting The Talk in the wake of husband Les Moonves' firing over sexual misconduct allegations, multiple sources confirmed to CNN. The TV personality has been absent from the show for the past week, ever since Moonves was canned from his role as CBS CEO.
"She has decided that her main focus needs to be clearing her husband’s name from accusations made 25-30 years ago and tending to her son,†a source told CNN.
Chen has been vocal about Moonves' innocence ever since the allegations first surfaced.
“I have known my husband, Leslie Moonves, since the mid-90s, and I have been married to him for almost 14 years. Leslie is a good man and loving father, devoted husband and inspiring corporate leader. He has always been a kind, decent and moral human being. I fully support my husband and stand behind him and his statement," she tweeted after his firing.
"Untrue allegations from decades ago are now being made against me that are not consistent with who I am. Effective immediately I will no longer be Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of CBS. I am deeply saddened to be leaving the company. I wish nothing but the best for the organization, the newly comprised board of directors and all of its employees," Moonves added in a statement.
Chen and Moonves share son Charlie, 8.
UPDATE: Julie just officially announced her exit in a taped video message. Watch it above!
Jessica Simpson announced she was expecting her third child on Instagram this morning, and she even revealed the gender!
"This little baby girl will make us a family of five. We couldn’t be happier to announce this precious blessing of life," she captioned a photo of her two kids Maxwell and Ace with pink balloons.
Shortly after, we caught up with the singer/fashion maven at LAX as she was catching a flight out of town. She was dressed in the same flowy, boho dress she wore in her Instagram -- she must have felt pressure to announce before photographers snapped her pic at the airport, lest we all speculate she'd gained weight!
We have a feeling this pregnancy wasn't exactly planned, as the fashion mogul told Ellen Degeneres back in May 2017 that she was done expanding her family with hubby Eric Johnson.
"We got an IUD, nothing’s gonna get in that uterus. I have two beautiful children, and I’m not having a third. They’re too cute … you can’t top that," she joked.

This is turning into quite the guessing game!
Alec Baldwin sent fans into a frenzy over the weekend when he said that niece Hailey and her fiance Justin Bieber had already tied the knot, but the SNL actor might not have had his facts totally straight. Sources are saying JB and HB aren't man and wife just yet, but it's coming soon!
"They went off and got married, and I don’t know what the deal is!†the A-list star told Access Hollywood on the red carpet at the Emmys last night.
Not so, says insiders close to the couple!
TMZ reports that the pair have yet to walk down the aisle, but they did get a marriage license issued in New York, which gives them 60 days to exchange vows and make things official.
It sounds like they're shooting for a ceremony around the holidays. We hope we get an invite!

She's not ready for the spotlight yet.
Ariana Grande and fiance Pete Davidson were expected to attend the Emmys, but the singer pulled out in the wake of ex-boyfriend Mac Miller's tragic death earlier this month. Her SNL beau decided to stay in New York with her for support, while the rest of his castmates took center stage at the award show.
"Contrary to reports, Ariana will not be attending the Emmys tonight. Pete has also opted to not attend to be with her in New York," her team told People.
"Given the events of the past couple of years, Ariana is going to take some much needed time to heal and mend. She will be staying close to home and using this period to spend time with her loved ones and work on new music without deadline. She thanks her fans for their understanding," they added.
She's had a rough couple years so we don't blame her!

Remember when Kourtney Kardashian went BALLISTIC on Scott Disick after he introduced their kids to his girlfriend Sofia Richie BEFORE he and Kourt had decided it was okay? In case you've forgotten, the gist of it was the Scott's a jerk and doesn't follow the rules and Kourtney runs the show. What's new?!
Well the incident hasn't slowed down Scott and Sofia Richie's relationship one bit ... in fact, since Sofia got implants, the couple's relationship seems to be next level!
We "caught up" with the couple at the movies Saturday afternoon in Calabasas and let's just say Sofia has a certain confidence now that she's moved on from being a teen to officially being a 20-something ... or just 20. And perhaps the new cup size doesn't hurt either!

Kate Hudson is due ANY MINUTE!
The actress, a full nine-months pregnant with her baby girl with boyfriend Danny Fujikawa -- in fact sources close to the actress have said she's past her due date.
We spotted Kate and Danny out in Pacific Palisades village, near their home, on Sunday. The couple grabbed an Acai Bowl from Juice Crafters and window shopped.
Danny stayed true to his usual funky style with some brightly-colored tropical-print cropped pants, while Kate wore a billowy black dress to hide her bursting baby bump! The two definitely didn't appear to be dying to have their picture taken, but Kate laughed as she hid behind her man ...
