{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}A Beverly Hills musician who co-wrote a Katy Perry song was found alive late last week after she disappeared over the summer.
No one had heard from Camela Leierth-Segura, who co-wrote "Walking on Air" with Perry, since June 29, and her car was last seen on a police camera leaving Beverly Hills, California, on June 30.
Her friend, Liz Montgomery, said on Friday, "Camela has been found, and she is safe."

Beverly Hills police told Fox News Digital in an email on Monday that "an anonymous source" reported seeing Leierth-Segura in the city of Santa Monica.

"After SMPD (Santa Monica Police Department) contacted Camela Segura, she informed them that she was not in distress and did not want any police services."

Her disappearance scared her friends, including Montgomery, who said in a previous interview with Fox News Digital that she "could be anywhere."

The musician was evicted around the same time she was reported missing and had been struggling to pay rent, according to her friend, who said Leierth-Segura's silver 2010 Ford Fusion, along with her 19-year-old black cat, which "is like her baby," were also missing.
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}"She had mentioned it to all of us that she was having trouble; COVID definitely was not helpful for her because she’s a musician, model, actress, all that stuff," Montgomery told the LA Times. "And there was no money coming in."
