Kate Beckinsale, 51, showed off her abs in a chic white bikini and glamorous pink fur cape as she posed for a racy Instagram photo on Tuesday.
The British actress flaunted her toned figure as she posed in her chic beachwear and dramatic sheer dress.
Last week, she revealed her weight loss is due to “stress and grief” over the death of her stepfather and her mother’s cancer diagnosis while responding to trolls.
The actress slammed some of her “moron” followers who told her she needed to gain weight in the comments section of an Instagram post.
After sharing a video clip of herself in a crop top and bikini bottoms, one follower asked where her bum had gone and encouraged Kate to “do some squats.”
Another claimed her body had “shrunken”, while another insisted she “looked upset” in the video posted on Monday night.
However, Kate hit back at the cruel comments, explaining that there were several reasons for her changing figure, including a six-week stay in hospital.
She replied: ‘No, actually, I watched my stepfather die in a pretty shocking way, my mother has stage 4 cancer and I lost a lot of eight years to the stress and grief…
‘Pretty quickly and then I was in hospital for six weeks because the pain had made a hole in my oesophagus, which made me vomit large amounts of blood, and I found it very difficult to eat…
“I worked very, very hard on a film that I found very provocative because it also dealt with the death of my father, so I don’t care what you think of my ass. Maybe you should worry about your own ass. I suggest you put something in it, like a big pineapple or a brick.”

Kate’s stepfather, Roy Battersby, died in January after suffering “a massive stroke” while battling two forms of cancer, which he had been diagnosed with the previous summer.
Shortly after her death, Kate also revealed that her mother, Judy Loe, had also been told she had stage four cancer.
In March, Kate revealed she had been hospitalised after sparking concern among fans with tearful selfies.
She later explained the reason for her hospital stay in a now-deleted Instagram post, writing: “I spent six weeks in the hospital due to vomiting profuse blood from a Mallory Weiss tear caused by the stress of an entire year making a hole between my esophagus (sic) and stomach.”
“That’s what I’m willing to reveal that has contributed to my weight loss. What you think of my appearance and what I should look like, regardless of the circumstances of my life and my family, is not important.”
In recent months, Kate had been caring for her mother and late stepmother after flying them from the UK to stay with her in Los Angeles.
“Kate has been caring for her parents, who are both seriously ill, for the best part of a year,” a source exclusively revealed to DailyMail.com late last year. “She brought them home to Los Angeles and has made their care her number one priority.”
On January 10, Kate announced the death of her stepfather Roy at the age of 87.
After sharing a video clip of herself wearing a crop top and bikini bottoms, one follower asked where her bum had gone and encouraged Kate to “do some squats.”
Kate responded to the cruel comments and explained that there were several reasons for her changed figure, including a six-week stay in hospital.
Another person asked her: “How’s your health Katie? Do you look like you’ve lost some weight?” to which she replied: “Everything is fine now, thanks.”
At the time, Kate did not reveal why she was in the hospital.
Last month, Kate shared a photo of Roy’s order of service which revealed he was cremated on Monday 19 February at Mortlake Crematorium near Kew in west London.
The source revealed that the actress, whose biological father Richard Beckinsale died in 1979 at age 31 of a heart attack in his sleep, has been feeling the emotional toll in recent months.
“She was seen crying in the hallways of UCLA hospital several times this week,” the source added. “Her friends are very concerned because she has been under constant stress for months and is barely sleeping or eating.”
“Kate seems very strong, but this has been incredibly hard and, given that she lost her father so young, it is affecting her deeply. Her friends are worried about her own health.”
A second source explained that her mother, Judy, has decided to keep her health struggles private, saying: “She’s amazing, you wouldn’t even know it by looking at her. She’s kept such a positive attitude throughout it all.”

Kate’s mother Judy married Roy 18 years after Kate’s father, Porridge star Richard Beckinsale, died.
Roy has enjoyed his own successful career as a director, working on major British film hits such as Inspector Morse and Cracker. His most recent directing work was on an episode of A Touch Of Frost in 2006.
Kate’s biological father, Richard Beckinsale, was best known for his roles as Lennie Godber in the BBC comedy Porridge and as Alan Moore in the ITV comedy Rising Damp.
He also had a daughter, Samantha, 55, who is his only child from his marriage to Margaret Bradley.
