Miley Cyrus has urged fans not to stockpile too much as panicked shoppers empty supermarkets of supplies in case of a lock down.
The Wrecking Ball singer took to Twitter to address the issue, and didn’t mince her words.
‘Be thoughtful,’ the star wrote. ‘Respectful. Compassionate. HUMAN. while preparing for social distancing…. NO ONE needs every soup in the store.’
‘The more we hoard the more expensive and sparse necessities will become, leaving many without essentials,’ she continued.
‘This is a great time to practice restraint…’
She then added: ‘It’s incredibly difficult to make smart decisions while panicking, but think twice before following the fear and being inconsiderate.
‘There is enough to go around if we take care of one another. This is a beautiful time to LEAD!’
The pop star’s social posts follow news that a gig appearance of hers has been cancelled due to the virus.
The star – who has been dating musician Cody Simpson since last October – was due to headline the World Tour Bushfire Relief fundraiser on 13 March at the Lakeside Stadium in Melbourne.
In a statement, Miley said: ‘Due to the recommendations of local, state, federal, and international government authorities, including the Center for Disease Control, to reduce potential health risks in response to the current global health crisis, we are no longer traveling to Australia for the show.’
