Beyonce's fans have defended the star after leaked pictures apparently revealed her imperfect skin.

The 224 images allegedly show the Crazy In Love singer's untouched skin during photo shoots for beauty company L'Oreal in 2013.

But website The Beyonce World - which first published the leaked pictures - removed them within an hour of them being posted after a major backlash.

The Beyonce World website later posted a statement saying: "Due to the disdain of the BeyHive, we have removed the photos. We don't want to cause any drama, nor do we wish to start fan wars.

"Some of the things we have seen posted were just horrible, and we don't want any parts of it. We were just posting the photos to share the fact that our queen is naturally beautiful, at the same time she is just a regular woman."
