HOLLYWOOD star Kate Beckinsale has clapped back at online trolls who have made fun of her Christmas tree.
Pearl Harbor actress, Kate, 51, responded to the bait left by critics who dared to diss her festive creation.

The star posted a bizarre video in front of her pink, fluffy Christmas tree while being swung in a flurry of yoga poses by a friend, with a cat on her back – wearing a Santa hat.
The brunette bombshell was also seen wearing a Pat Butcher-inspired skirt.
She wrote alongside the colourful footage: “It’s ok to have weird Christmas traditions.”
The star was seen lying on a rug on the ground, surrounded by an arch of pink balloons and her collection of cute animals.
The unique tree, caked in pastel-coloured trinkets and accessories, caught the eyes of fans – and not in a good way.
One user mocked: “That tree makes me wish for a migraine so I can’t see it.”
“That tree is fugly, looks like a pile of puke,” berated a second.
“That’s a Clump of a tree… why did you torture the tree? Where’s the tree?” inquired a third unimpressed user.
Kate responded: “Oh, I worked really hard on it and I loved it so much and it brought me joy.
“What a weird instinct to say that to somebody.”
The Van Helsing star had a rough start to 2024 suffering the loss of her stepfather, Roy Battersby, back in January.
The TV director died of a stroke, while also suffering from two types of cancer.
Her mother, Judy, has also had health problems, and was rushed to hospital last August.
Judy now lives in LA with her daughter so they can look after each other.
It’s not the first time Kate has lashed out at trolls.
Earlier in July, the star revealed that she was left ‘vomiting blood’ during a recent terrifying health scare.
Kate made the admission while hitting back at a cruel troll, who’d left a nasty comment beneath her latest flesh-flashing Instagram post.
But when one commented: “Go do some squats @katebeckinsale I think ur a** ran away,” she furiously clapped back.

The Underworld star bluntly replied: “No, actually, I watched my stepfather die quite shockingly, my mother has stage 4 cancer, and I lost a lot of weight from stress and grief, quite quickly.
“Then I was in hospital for six weeks because the grief had burned a hole in my oesophagus which made me vomit copious amounts of blood.
“I found eating very hard and I just worked very, very hard on a movie that was actually quite triggering because it also involved the theme of the death of my father so I’m not really concerned about what you think about my a**.”
The London native was previously married to director Len Wiseman.
Kate shares 25-year-old daughter Lily Mo Sheen from her previous relationship with Michael Sheen, 55, that lasted from 1995 to 2003.
She has since dated a series of younger men, and is currently believed to be single.
