Paris Jackson posted a nude photo on her Instagram this week -
which resulted in criticism from her fans.
The picture - which has since been deleted - was of her sunbathing topless alongside a dog. Her nipples were covered with the beetle emojis.
The 19-year-old daughter of the late Michael Jackson, has since posted another photo - topless and smoking - with a message hitting out at critics.
Nudism "started as a movement for 'going back to nature'," she wrote, "and was even called a philosophy". It helps her connect to the earth and is a "beautiful thing" that does not have to be seen as sexual, she said.
"Feminism is being able to express yourself in your own way, whether it's being conservative and wearing lots of clothes or showing yourself."
She continued: "The human body is a beautiful thing and no matter what 'flaws' you have, whether it be scars, or extra weight, stretch marks, freckles, whatever, it is beautiful and you should express yourself however you feel comfortable.
"If this makes some of you upset i completely understand and i encourage you to maybe no longer follow me, but i cannot apologise for this in any way. it is who i am and i refuse to shy away and keep my beliefs a secret."
The picture has already gathered nearly 130,000 likes.
