The model has taken to Twitter to hit back at some Islamophobic comments.
Gigi Hadid has spoken out against Islamophobia in the days after the terror attack in New York.
Eight people were killed and 11 injured when a truck drove into pedestrians before hitting a school bus on Tuesday.
There has been an overwhelming amount of support showed online for the victims and the people of New York, however, there were still many who chose to spew hate.
Due to police activity, avoid the area of Chambers Street/West St.

A ring-wing political reporter tweeted a picture of two women wearing hijabs walking near where the attack happened claiming they were “rubbing it in”.
“Muslims are out in full force at the scene of the NYC ISIS attack today, rubbing it in everyone’s face,” she wrote.
“Aimlessly walking around in hijabs. You’d think they’d have the decency to not walk around in hijabs across the street from the attack.
“But they don’t. I bet they’re loving this.”
The post was met with a huge amount of backlash including a tweet from Gigi who said:
“Laura, I hate to give you the attention, but I need to tell you – you’re a fucking moron.”
