Jennifer Hudson has spoken out about being nominated for four Grammy Awards.

The actress is up for Album Of The Year, Best R&B Song, Best Female R&B Vocal Performance and Best R&B Performance.

And she says she feels privileged to have been recognised.

‘It's been a childhood dream of mine to release an album,’ she said in a statement.

‘So to receive four Grammy nominations is truly a blessing. I'm extremely honoured and humbled by the nominations.’

Jennifer, 27, was devastated by the murders of her mum Darnell, brother Jason and seven-year-old nephew Julian King last month.

Her estranged brother-in-law William Balfour has been arrested in connection with the killings.

The Grammy Awards take place in the US in February.
