It then cut to the aftermath, captioned: “How it ended.”

Her luxury car was left at the side of the road after the crash, with a large hole visible above the wheel.

The influencer admitted she regretted letting her friend drive the expensive vehicle.

She wrote: “Lesson learned don’t let your friend drive your brand-new car.”

Fans and friends quickly flooded the comments, sharing messages of concern and support.

One said: "That's why I refuse to drive a car thats not mine."

A second said: " I’m so glad no one got hurt. Love you guys so much."

While a third penned: "I hope you are okay."

The influencer recently left fans emotional as she marked the one-year anniversary of Liam Payne's death.

On October 16 the star shared a video and a handwritten "goodbye" letter she found from him.

She posted a black and white photo of them together on Instagram, captioned: "Today marks a full year without you here. I will forever hate goodbyes. I miss you Liam".

Liam Payne’s cause of death was previously confirmed as polytrauma, a medical term indicating multiple traumatic injuries to the body.

Following his death, his friend Rogelio ‘Roger’ Nores, hotel operator Gilda Martin, and receptionist Esteban Grassi were initially charged with manslaughter, though the charges were later dropped.

Two other hotel staff Ezequiel Pereyra, 22, and waiter Braian Paiz, 25 have been charged with supplying cocaine to the singer.

No trial date has yet been set for the pair, as Argentine authorities continue to review around 800 hours of CCTV footage, mobile phone records, and laptops related to the case.

Although Liam's cause of death was determined to be multiple external and internal trauma injuries, a toxicology report found there were traces of cocaine, alcohol and prescription antidepressant in his system at the time of his death.

The X Factor star had been in Buenos Aires for a holiday with Kate where they attended his former bandmate Niall Horan's concert.
