KIM Kardashian has hit out at an "obviously fake" story which claimed she had bought JFK's bloodied shirt for her daughter.
The star pointed out someone had edited an Instagram post to make it seem as though she had purchased the shirt the late President John F. Kennedy was wearing when he was assassinated.
An article, which was based off the fake Instagram story, claimed that Kim and Kanye West had bought the shirt for their oldest daughter North.
Kim quickly tweeted out a screenshot of the article and wrote: "WOW this is obviously fake!"
She then tweeted at the media company: "Refinery 29, I did not get JFK’s shirt. That is a sick joke that someone tweeted as a fake IG story that I never posted."
She called out the company after a fan alerted her of Refinery 29's article, which was later edited to clarify the situation.
A statement at the top of the article now reads: "This story has been updated from the original version. Earlier, it included a falsified Instagram image, which has been removed."
The fake Instagram story photo popped up after Kim and Kanye sparked fan outrage after they bought their daughter a jacket and fedora that Michael Jackson had worn before his tragic passing.
The 39-year-old revealed that she and husband Kanye had won the jacket, which was worn by the late pop-star for Elizabeth Taylor's 65th birthday party in 1997, at an auction.
The exclusive piece of memorabilia, which is now owned by the six-year-old super fan, sold for $65,625.
Kim told her followers: “Kanye and I gave North this jacket, and, this was Michael Jackson's jacket that he wore with Elizabeth Taylor.
“North is a really big Michael Jackson fan and we knew she would love this.”
She went on to reveal that they had it altered to fit the youngster, saying: “We won this on an auction for Northie for Christmas and we had it tacked up so she could wear it.
“The sleeves are half tacked up so when she gets older we can untack the sleeve and it can grow with her and she can have this for her whole life.”
She added: “She's so grateful and so excited.”
Kim’s followers were rather shocked by the extravagant gift and took to Twitter to discuss it.
One person wrote: “I don't care how much Kim Kardashian loves Michael Jackson, she bought his jacket for her f**king child to wear it. They don't know the real value of these memorabilia. Lady Gaga did the same thing, I hate it."
