Jade jets to New York

Samantha Jade is enjoying some quality time with her family following the tragic death of her mum Jacquie Gibbs last month.

The Perth pop star and her family have jetted off to New York to take some time away from Australia.

"Hello New York," Jade wrote alongside an image of the Big Apple's high-rise buildings and bustling traffic, while she also uploaded a photo to her Instagram account of her younger brothers Alex and Thomas looking excited with their boarding passes.

A day before their trip, Jade posted a photo of her mother along with the caption "Miss My Angel".

The 2012 X Factor winner rushed back to Perth to take care of her mother, 51, when she learnt of her illness in February.
