She continued, "I wish I could see my parents and grandmas right now but it's much safer to not so I don't get them sick in case I have it. I'm hanging at home with my dogs. I love you world, we'll all get through this. Trust me, I talked to God -she said we're gonna be ok."

She added that while awaiting her test results she is "not having any contact with people outside of my family," although she "went outside for a quick walk in front of our house to walk Owen [her dog] with the kids. With no human contact and while wearing a mask."

She added to PEOPLE, "I am hopeful that the test will come back negative. At this time I'm not isolating from my kids because I have to take care of them. But I am trying to isolate from my mother who flew in last night. So we'll see what happens."

"It's farewell from us as we go home to be quarantined," the father-to-be wrote his Instagram Stories Wednesday. "We're coming home to the States, at least I'm coming home to the States, because we want to get in before the quarantine."

The star, who's currently engaged to Katy Perry and expecting a child with her added, "Big love everybody, stay safe out there! Self-quarantine. It seems really crazy actually this whole corona thing, but do the right thing by you and your family and stay safe."

Bloom and Perry recently had to postpone their wedding in Japan due to COVID-19. Perry also left Australia amid growing coronavirus concerns, news.com.au reported. The singer had spent 24 hours confined to her hotel room in Sydney as a safety precaution.
