Selena Gomez responds to online bully after cancer jibe

Selena Gomez has hit back after being on the receiving end of online abuse.

Celebrities are regularly the target of internet vitriol, but it seems a recent comment about cancer on Instagram specifically angered Gomez.

She posted a screenshot of a message she left on a user's page after apparently having cancer wished upon her.

Gomez wrote: "The comment you left about cancer was absurd. How distasteful of a young woman. I have gone through that battle with fans and family members. You can dislike someone but to wish something that could happen to you or your family is uncalled for sweetheart.

"You won't be winning 'anyone's' heart that way. Trust me. Educate yourself a tad more. God bless love. Be an amazing woman. You're beautiful."

The singer captioned the photo with the words: "Honestly, I don't speak up much because it's simply *always* taken out of context. But I don't take bullying well. I have seen too much to not say anything."
