On Thursday night, Disney channel star Demi Lovato appears to have been a victim of cyber-hacking. It was reported that the hacker has nude pictures of the singer-actress from her Snapchat account.

The photos, which aren't confirmed to be legitimate, are linked to a Discord chat room. The Snap was captioned, "Join this discord server for my nudes" with a "swipe-up" link added to redirect the person who clicks to the Discord server.

The pictures, whether genuine or not, were swiftly removed from the "Don't Forget" singer's snapchat. However, different versions of the images are now circulating online.

Another post has directed people to an account that is believed to belong to the hacker. One post uploaded to her Snap showed a completely nude brunette, who bears more a resemblance to Lovato, standing in front of a closet and posing for a mirror selfie.

Another photo showed a topless woman, who look exactly like Lovato, pouting for the camera.

The Blast reported that the messages have already been removed from Demi's Snapchat account. Her representatives have been working on getting the images removed from online forums as well.

Discord claims that the hackers that are taking responsibility are the same group that recently took over Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey's account. The same group allegedly leaked a photo of another actress, Chloe Grace Moretz.

Fans of Demi has taken to Twitter to say that viewing the photos of the singer was an invasion of privacy , and that she doesn't deserve because it was all shared without Demi's consent.

"Disrespecting someone is one thing, but disrespecting a woman's body is another thing and completely violating and disgusting. When will the world stop breaking Demi down and support her?" a person tweeted.

"Omfg someone's hacked Demi's Snapchat! Why would anyone do this #DemiLovato #snapchat."

Another person added, "Demi Lovato has been hacked. You have no idea how dangerous this stupid joke is and the consequences it could have!"

Tough Times for Demi

In 2014, Jennifer Lawrence's photos were also leaked. She said that the nude photos are not a scandal but a sex crime.

Demi is currently going through a tough time after the death of her friend Thomas, who recently passed away following a battle of substance abuse.

The "This Is Me" singer posted a screenshot as she listened to Wiz Khalifa's "See You Again."

Arriving at the funeral to commemorate her friend, she shared a photo of the Los Angeles-based theatre, which featured "Tommy Trussell: Celebration of Life" across the marquee.

The singer got a "T" tattooed on her arm in honor of her friend and a series of pictures with Thomas on Instagram.

She explained how Thomas would want everyone to know his story in the hope it would help someone. In an Instagram story, the Texas native said:

"This hurts beyond words. We will never forget you. Thank you for all you did on this planet. Love you forever, Tommy." She added, "If you or someone you know is struggling with addiction, please do not hesitate to ask for help."

Thomas' death comes after a year she has been hospitalized due to a drug overdose.
