Celebrity

Several fans were offended by Kim's Instagram tribute post, which featured a throwback image of herself partying with Ariana Grande, Kendall Jenner and Hailey Baldwin at Kanye West's concert.

AceShowbiz - Dozens of celebrities have taken to social media to send out love and prayers for victims of the explosion at Ariana Grande's Manchester concert, which left 22 concertgoers dead and over 59 injured. Unlike other celebrities, Kim Kardashian took to Instagram on Tuesday, May 23 to share her condolences by posting a throwback photo of herself partying with Ariana that led fans to believe she was being insensitive.

In the now-deleted photo, Kim and Ariana were joined by Kim's little sister, Kendall Jenner, and Hailey Baldwin as they enjoyed Kanye West's concert in 2016. The 36-year-old reality TV star captioned the concert pic with a message that read, "I'm praying for everyone in Manchester. This is truly so senseless & heart breaking."

She continued, "I can't imagine the fear and agony these parents must be going through searching for their kids; Concerts are supposed to be a place where u can let loose and have fun," before adding, "It’s so scary to not feel safe in this world. My heart goes out to @arianagrande I love you."

While the message was sweet, fans were left unimpressed with her post and blasted her for being selfish. "The need for you to post a pic of yourself… disgusting," one wrote, while another added, "Instead posting a picture of yourself maybe show some compassion and sincerity for all those poor people who have lost their kids?? So selfish such a terrible post and picture!!"

Others, meanwhile, came to Kim's defense, emphasizing that she spoke the truth in her message. "It's not ugly it's true; you're supposed to have fun in concerts, not be afraid now bc of this incident, its positivity - & ari's in the pic," a fan wrote, while another commented, "She literally wrote a great, inspiring speech but people don't care about that and focus on the picture instead."

Meanwhile, Ariana arrived back in the States with her mother nearly 24 hours after the bombing. She was greeted by her boyfriend, Mac Miller, who gave her a tender kiss after she descended from the plane.
