Orlando Bloom is returning to the US from Europe due to the coronavirus pandemic.

The actor said on Instagram Stories on Thursday that production has shut down for his show Carnival Row, which he was filming in Prague.

“It’s farewell from us as we’re going home to be quarantined,” he said about himself and his castmates.

Bloom added: “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 actor urged his viewers to self-quarantine, telling them: “It seems really crazy actually this whole corona thing but do the right thing by you and your family and stay safe.”

“A few weeks, we’ll beat this bad boy,” Bloom predicted.

Katy Perry, who is engaged to the actor and pregnant with their first child, was seen at Sydney Airport – suggesting she might be returning to the US as well. Sydney Airport is used both for domestic and international flights.

Perry was in Australia to perform at a concert providing relief for the recent bushfires.

According to 7News, she stayed isolated in her hotel room prior to her departure.

The Independent has contacted Perry's team for more information.
