Katy Perry speaks out on wild conspiracy theory that claims she's actually JonBenét Ramsey

Katy Perry has reacted to people's theories that she could be JonBenét Ramsey.

JonBenét died in 1996 when she was just six years old.

It's believed the young girl had been murdered after being found dead in the basement of her family home in Boulder, Colorado.

Her death went on to be ruled as a homicide, but nearly 30 years later, her killer is yet to be found.

The case got a new lease of life recently after the release of the Netflix documentary Cold Case: Who Killed JonBenét Ramsey last year.

With this in mind, her father, John Ramsey, is optimistic that JonBenét's killer will be found — particularly with the help of modern day technology.

But away from finding out who murdered the young girl all those years ago, some have suggested that JonBenét was never dead in the first place and that it was all a hoax.

Adding to the wildness of the conspiracy theory, some believed that 'Firework' hitmaker Katy Perry is the real JonBenét.

This theory first started making its way round the internet back in 2014, says US Weekly, and suggested that Perry's real parents are Patsy and John Ramsey.

The singer's somewhat resemblance to the JonBenét is what's thought to have sparked the unfounded idea.

While Perry's known for her dark hair, the award-winning music star has naturally lighter locks.

Conspiracy theorists have failed to note that the singer is five years older than JonBenét, however, with Perry celebrating her 40th birthday in October 2024.

Perry's now responded to the claims after an AI-generated video of a photo of JonBenét morphed into her, making out that they were the same person.

Perry allegedly said of the video on social media: "Wait am i."

The murder enquiry is still ongoing and a major breakthrough was made last year.

Following the popularity of the 2024 Netflix documentary on JonBenét's death, her father said he received a letter from a woman claiming that her husband was her killer.

Elsewhere, it was said that the FBI has built a 'profile' of the killer, which paints him as someone who was in his 20s or 30s at the time and 'infatuated with movies'.

DNA was found on JonBenét's body at the time of her death, but police were unable to work out whose it was.

Her direct family (JonBenét's parents and brother Burke) were officially cleared of being involved in the six-year-old's murder in 2008, NBC News reported at the time.
