Rihanna has cancelled her concert in Nice in the wake of the deadly Bastille Day terror attack.

At least 84 people were killed after a truck drove through crowds which had gathered on Nice's Promenade des Anglais for a fireworks display.

Rihanna had been scheduled to perform at the Allianz Stadium on Friday night as part of her Anti World Tour, but the gig has now been cancelled.

The singer's publicist confirmed the singer was safe.

Christian Estrosi, president of the region that includes Nice, announced the cancellation and added that the city's annual jazz festival has also been shelved.

Nice Jazz Festival 2016 had been scheduled to feature a performance by Led Zeppelin front man Robert Plant.

The cast and crew of the Fifty Shades of Grey sequel, who are shooting on location in the south of France near Nice, have also been confirmed safe.

Producer Dana Brunetti said: "Production has confirmed that everyone working on location in the south of France is okay.

"Everyone has been accounted for and is safe and sound."

He added: "Thanks for everyone's messages and concerns.

"Another sad day for France and the world."

French President Francois Hollande has described the attack as a "monstrous terrorist act" and declared three days of national mourning, beginning on Saturday.
