XOXO, Michelle Trachtenberg wants you to know she's OK.

The Gossip Girl star is firing back on social media after recent selfies sparked concern among many users and speculation about her health.

On Jan. 17, she had shared a photo with Spy Kids star Alexa PenaVega, writing, "These kids….now adults getting our roots/hair done! Love this girl @vegaalexa." One user commented, "Michelle u look sick. R u ok?"

The Buffy the Vampire Slayer alum responded, "Explain to me how I look sick. Did you lose a calendar and not realize I'm not 14. I'm 38. How sad for you to leave such a comment."

The user then replied, "No disrespect my comment was really not to hurt u. I look up to u. It has nothing to do with ur age. I just find that u look pale and sick. Sorry if i offended u it was not my attention."

"If she's dealing with something, she's dealing. We're not family or friends. We're fans. Calm down. Don't be rude."
