Katy Perry has made a $10,000 donation to Planned Parenthood, following the election of Donald Trump.

Trump’s election has cause some Americans to fear that organisations such as Planned Parenthood could be in jeopardy if the Republican government choses to cut off financial aid.

Posting a photo of her donation to Instagram, the singer, who had been a vocal Hilary Clinton supporter, told her followers ‘it’s time to turn words into actions’.

‘There are so many steps to take, but my first vow is to support organizations that may have their funding support taken from them in the future by the government,’ she wrote.

‘I am making a public donation to Planned Parenthood for the teenage me who made several visits to first a clinic in Santa Barbara and then Los Angeles, CA to educate myself on my sexual health, a subject I had little to no information on because of my sheltered upbringing.’

Perry credited the organisation with educating ‘me on my body and my reproductive health, so that I could focus on my dreams and using my voice until I knew the timing was right for me to make a plan to have a family.’

The singer also added she may have had a different life path if it hadn't been for the help of Planned Parenthood.

Perry then urged her fans to follow her lead and make their own donation.

“Now, more than ever, we all need to protect and create safe places for each other,” she concluded.

“I hope I can help inspire you to make a gift as well, and become a member and an ally.”
