Hollywood actor Kate Beckinsale has shared a social media update one month after deleting all of her Instagram posts.

On Sunday night, Beckinsale posted a graphic that featured the word “bye” against a black backdrop.

The Underworld star also shared an image of a rainbow at the end of a street on her Instagram stories with the words: “Congratulations you won.”

The actor before wiped her Instagram account clean in August following comments about her appearance, which accused her of using weight-loss drugs and urged her to “gain weight”.

Beckinsale, 53, addressed the negativity she faced in a series of Instagram stories, while still struggling with the loss of her mother, Judy Loe, who died in 2025.

“Delete all of your posts and explain in some detail about why you may have lost weight including the fact that weight loss is one of the first physical signs of bereavement.”

“First off, I’ve lost my entire family, except my precious daughter, in a short amount of time,” Beckinsale added, referring to the death of her mother and death of her stepfather Roy Battersby in 2024.

Beckinsale’s Instagram profile still includes a link to a BBC story about British television presenter Caroline Flack, who died by suicide in February 2020 at the age of 40.
