Louis Tomlinson thanks fans for support one month after the death of his sister, Félicité

"Sending you all loads of love."

Louis Tomlinson thanked his fans for "their lovely words over the past couple of weeks" as he took to social media for the first time since the death of his sister, Félicité. 18-year-olf Félicité passed away on March 13 after a suspected heart attack. In a Twitter post on Wednesday, Louis said that he was sending his fans "all loads of love" as he thanked them for their support. He said:

"Just wanted to thank everyone for their lovely words over the past couple of weeks. Back in the studio today to vocal something I wrote a few months ago. Sending you all loads of love x."

Louis' post was soon flooded with supportive comments from fans. His sweet message comes after his sister, Lottie, paid tribute to Félicité, calling her her "best friend."  Alongside a slideshow on Instagram, she wrote:

“My Fizzy, my baby sister, my best friend. I’m incomplete without you, I’m empty. I can’t picture my life without you. “I wish we could have lived life together for a little longer. Mama needed you and you needed her, you’re finally together again. I love you always, Dotty x.”

The family lost their mother, Johannah, in 2016 after a long battle with leukaemia.
