Rita Ora has called for social media users to think before they type in the wake of the tragic death of Caroline Flack.
Caroline was just 40 years old when she took her own life at her East London home.
She had been awaiting trial for assault charges – that she had always denied – against her boyfriend Lewis Burton.
Burton had also publicly stated he would not support the CPS [Crown Prosecution Service] with the trial.
Taking to Instagram, Rita shared a string of pictures of herself and Rita along with a heartfelt caption.
Rita said: “Caroline you were a true light to everyone you met I can still hear you laugh right now, everyone knew it’s was your laugh! Oh here’s Flackie!

“I was blessed to call you a friend.
“I hope your death is not in vain and a lesson is learnt today.”
Rita continued: “Let’s put a stop to public humiliation, shaming and bullying from the media.
“Let’s stop targeting young people. Let’s stand together and use social media more responsibly. Let’s think before we type.”

“Please look around you to see which of your friends/family needs support.
“Lots of love to Caroline Flack and her family and friends during this tragic time.”
Rita’s post came shortly after Caroline’s boyfriend Lewis broke his silence to promise his late girlfriend he would seek justice.
Lewis wrote on Instagram: “My heart is broken we had something so special.

“I am so lost for words I am in so much pain I miss you so much I know you felt safe with me you always said I don’t think about anything else when I am with you and I was not allowed to be there this time I kept asking and asking.
“I will be your voice baby I promise I will ask all the questions you wanted and I will get all the answers nothing will bring you back but I will try make you proud everyday.
“I love you with all my heart.”
