Lady Gaga has hit back at Kelly Osbourne's criticism of her fans after the she accused the singer of 'creating monsters.'

During an interview with Fabulous magazine in October, Kelly revealed that she has been abused by Gaga's fans - with some even sending her death threats.

The Fashion Police presenter said: "Lady Gaga's fans are the worst. They've said I should kill myself, that they hope I get raped.

"I mean it's crazy but I've had this all my life and I just try and ignore it. I actually think she's a good singer but she has the worst fans in the world and you have a responsibility to stop that. I think you do anyway."

Lady G has now posted a response to Kelly's comments on her Little Monsters website, writing in an open letter: "I have empathy for you Kelly, but I feel it culturally important to note that you have chosen a less compassionate path.

"Your work on E! with the Fashion Police is rooted in criticism, judgement, and rating people's beauty against one another.

"'Appearance' is the most used reason for bullying in the world. Your show breeds negativity, and over the years has even become comedic in nature."

The Marry The Night singer added: "I urge you to take responsibility and accountability for the example that you are setting for young people.

"We can all do our part in the media to set a standard of respect, compassion, and love."

Lady Gaga's full letter to Kelly Osbourne:

Dear Kelly, While I wish you had reached out to me personally, as the head of the Born This Way foundation with my mother Cynthia we would like to respond. Everyday, through my music and public voice I choose to be positive and work towards a kinder and braver world with our community of followers.

I encourage them to ignore criticism, stand up to bullies, know their own value and see that we are all the same and no one person is worth more than another. I know I'm perceived as a wild child, but in reality I am woman that deeply cares for humanity.

I have empathy for you Kelly, but I feel it culturally important to note that you have chosen a less compassionate path. Your work on E! with the Fashion Police is rooted in criticism, judgment, and rating people's beauty against one another. "Appearance" is the most used reason for bullying in the world.

Your show breeds negativity, and over the years has even become comedic in nature. It glorifies you and Joan Rivers pointing in the camera, laughing, and making jokes about artists and celebrities as if we are zoo animals.

What about your body revolution? It used to make me truly sad when I would hear people talk about your weight when you were younger, as I was bullied too. To see you blossoming into a beautiful slender woman who makes fun of others for a living is astounding. Why not help others? Why not defend others who are bullied for their image and share your story?

I am pointing this out not to take a crack at your character, as we've met before and you're lovely. However, I urge you to take responsibility and accountability for the example that you are setting for young people. They look up to you because you are famous, and if you treat others that way on TV, many adolescents at home on twitter assume your actions are acceptable: well if she does it, why can't I?

I cannot control my fans, and I discourage them from any negativity and violence, because that is wrong and hurtful -- and I do feel baldy (sic) that your feelings were hurt. However, we can all do our part in the media to set a standard of respect, compassion, and love. I wish for you to be treated with the kindness and respect that everyone deserves.

While some of my fans have learning to do, most of them share the same values as I, and it's what bonds us together. And that bond is strong. Sincerely Gaga and Cynthia www.bornthiswayfoundation.org PS. And to any media or celebrities that happen to find this letter in their path, I hope you, too, consider the power of your voices. Lets work together and make 2013 a year of unity.
