Kate Beckinsale addressed her dramatic weight loss after a fan weighed in on her appearance via social media.

On Tuesday, the “Underworld” actress shared a since-deleted post that included several images of herself in bikinis.

“Oh sweetheart, I honestly think you have a problem!!!” one follower wrote in the comments. “You don’t look good. I think you honestly need help.”

The “Pearl Harbor” star responded, “Yes I do. I’m going through one of the most deeply painful times of my life. The body keeps the score.”

Though Beckinsale, 51, did not elaborate further, she referenced Bessel van der Kolk’s bestselling book on trauma, “The Body Keeps the Score: Brain, Mind, and Body in the Healing of Trauma.”

In a video clip, the actress appeared extremely slim while walking her dog in a pair of daisy dukes, black platform boots and a black bikini top.

The actress further hinted at turmoil in the caption of her post, which also included photos of her pets and lookalike daughter Lily Mo Sheen, 26.

“Girls trip with my girls,” Beckinsale wrote. “This is not an accurate depiction of how life is right now but a brief and precious reprieve from other things for which I am extremely grateful x.”

While some fans expressed concern, one fan emphasized, “How about we stop talking about her weight because you don’t know what’s going on in her life. You’re beautiful and you remind me of Audrey Hepburn.”

Another remarked, “always love and respect you, Kate. I hope everything gets better soon ❤️.”

Beckinsale previously clapped back at trolls who insisted she had lost “too much weight.”

In a since-deleted Instagram post from January, one person wrote, “It’s not a criticism, but I think you’ve lost too much weight lately.”

The actress fired back, “If it’s not a criticism, it’s a passive aggressive completely unnecessary opinion from someone I don’t know who knows nothing about my circumstances. So next time you feel like commenting on someone’s body, I suggest you keep it to your f–king self.”

Beckinsale was hospitalized with a mystery illness in March 2024, which she later revealed to be due to a hole in her esophagus.

She got candid about her hospital stay via social media in July 2024 while clapping back at a troll commenting on her weight.

At the time, Beckinsale claimed she lost weight due to the death of her stepfather, Roy Battersby, and her mom’s stage 4 cancer diagnosis.

“I lost a lot of weight from stress and grief, quite quickly,” she told a commenter.
