Songwriter Camela Leierth-Segura, who co-wrote pop star and “American Idol” judge Katy Perry‘s 2013 song “Walking On Air” with her, vanished from Beverly Hills, California, weeks ago and hasn’t been heard from since. Worried friends have begun an awareness campaign, posting on social media and alerting local media, to help find the 48-year-old and her cat, who disappeared with her.
One of Leierth-Segura’s close friends, Liz Montgomery, wrote on Instagram, “We are extremely worried about her safety, and despite our best efforts, the local authorities have not been able to locate her. She means the world to us and time is of the essence.”
According to the California Department of Justice, Leierth-Segura was last in contact with someone on June 29, 2023 and is now considered a missing person. So far, Perry has not joined the efforts to help find the songwriter and model. Here’s what you need to know:

Leierth-Segura is originally from Sweden, where most of her family, including her sister, still resides. After her sister couldn’t reach her for weeks, she contacted LA-based friends to find out if they’d heard from her, according to USA Today.
