Rumer Willis has publicly criticised photographers who she claimed Photoshopped an image of her face.

Willis, 27, alleges her jaw line was digitally altered in a photo of her and her sisters Tallulah and Scout for Vanity Fair.

The actress said she was left offended and compared Photoshopping someone’s body image to “bullying”.

Alongside the image on Instagram, she posted: “Any friends of fans of mine who posted this I would appreciate if you took it down. The photographer Photoshopped my face to make my jaw smaller and I find it really offensive for anyone to try and change the way you look so drastically.

“I love the way I look and I won't support anyone who would feel a need to change the way I look to make me beautiful. Whether or not they realise it, it is a form of bullying, which I won't stand for.”

E! Online reported that the photographers were Mark Williams and Sara Hirakawa.

Fans were quick to offer support with one deeming Willis “beautiful” while another described her as “gorgeous”.

Willis – who is the daughter of Bruce Willis and Demi Moore – last year opened up about struggling with her body image in the public eye.

Speaking to Glamour she said: "When you grow up in the public eye the way that I did, everyone's looking at you and waiting for you to do something crazy or say something wrong or have a meltdown.

"I was constantly bullied because of my looks, so I struggled a lot with my body image. I wanted to have no butt; I wanted to have no boobs."

Standard Online has contacted Mark Williams and Sara Hirakawa for comment.
