• Charli D'Amelio thanked her fans for their kindness after noticing the Twitter hashtag #HereForCharli.
• However, she quickly deleted it when people notified her it was meant for Charli XCX.
• The hashtag was initially shared as an outpouring of support for Charli XCX following the death of her friend, musician Sophie.

TikTok star Charli D'Amelio deleted a tweet where she thanked her fans for their kindness for using the Twitter hashtag #HereForCharli after she learned the outpouring of support was meant for Charli XCX.

Fans of Charli XCX initially made the hashtag following the death of her friend and collaborator, fellow musician and producer Sophie. News broke on January 31 that the visionary artist had died after suffering a "sudden accident" in Athens at age 34.

"Oh my goodness, you are all so sweet to me," she said. "You have no idea how much your kind words warm my heart i am so lucky to have you all by my side!! I love you bebs."

Over the next couple of days, people notified the young star, who is 16 years old and TikTok's largest creator with over 100 million followers, that she was mistaken.

"Who's gonna tell her we mean Charli XCX?" one Twitter user replied. Some pointed out that if D'Amelio had actually looked through the hashtag, it should have been obvious.

Another wrote: "It's for Charli XCX because her great friend and collaborator SOPHIE just passed away in tragic circumstances."

"Thinking about how Charli D'Amelio thought that the #hereforcharli hashtag was for her when it was for Charli XCX after she lost her bestfriend," one tweet reads.

D'Amelio then deleted the tweet two days later, despite her fans efforts to flood the hashtag in support of her - many of them said it had been an honest mistake. Insider has reached out to D'Amelio's representatives for comment.

D'Amelio was already receiving some backlash this week for her response to questions about her family's holiday to the Bahamas while the COVID-19 pandemic is still ongoing.

She and her sister Dixie D'Amelio were approached by paparazzi photographer Kevin Wong, who asked them if they had any response to the people who had criticized them for travelling.

"No response," D'Amelio said before getting into her car.

"I- Wow. I'm not even shocked anymore," wrote one viewer of the video, which was shared by drama account Def Noodles. "These rich entitled people think they can do whatever they want & not have to face any repercussions for their actions. Disgusting."

Controversial YouTuber Trisha Paytas, who has been a vocal critic of the D'Amelio family, also chimed in.

"Please get her off Tik tok and back in school," she tweeted. "Her lack of intelligence/common sense is appalling."

Back in November, the whole D'Amelio family came under fire from online critics after a chaotic video was posted on her family's YouTube channel in which some thought the sisters' behavior was rude and entitled.

The sisters made faces at each other, suggesting they disliked of the menu that was cooked for them by personal chef. D'Amelio then appeared to complain about not hitting 100 million followers.

D'Amelio subsequently lost a million followers, but has since gained them all back and then some. Her follower count currently stands at 107.5 million.
