The "We Belong Together" singer, 55, shared a video to Instagram on Sunday singing her 2005 song "It's Like That" and a message thanking fans for standing by her during her recent family tragedy.

"It's been a couple of rough weeks, but I appreciate everyone's love and support so much and I can't wait to see my fans in China & Brazil, Love you! ❤️❤️❤️," she captioned the post.

Carey's post comes two weeks after she announced her mother and sister died on the same day.

Sadly, in a tragic turn of events, my sister lost her life on the same day," the five-time Grammy winner said in a statement to ABC News on Aug. 26. "I feel blessed that I was able to spend the last week with my mom before she passed. I appreciate everyone's love and support and respect for my privacy during this impossible time."
