Personal photos of Harry Styles and Kendall Jenner on holiday have been leaked online after his mother, Anne Cox’s, iCloud account was “hacked”, according to reports.

Various news sites have reported the photos, which first began surfacing on Saturday evening, originated from a Twitter account which has now been suspended.

Many of the photos appear to be from Styles’ and Jenner’s post-Christmas holiday in St Barts which attracted much tabloid coverage due to speculation over the singer and model's relationship status and the fact his mother, her mother Kris Jenner, Ellen Degeneres and her wife Portia de Rossi were also pictured on the holiday.

It is not confirmed that the photos were from Cox’s iCloud account but on Sunday “Anne’s iCloud” was reportedly trending on Twitter after the first photos surfaced.

Cox’s Twitter account has now been deleted and her daughter, and Styles’ sister, Gemma took to the social media site on Sunday evening to criticise those setting up false accounts purporting to be Cox saying her mother’s life had been “violated enough”.

On Sunday evening, Jenner’s sister Khloe Kardashian responded to a fan who asked “do you have any opinion on the people that hack other people and invade their privacy”, to which she responded “that’s ducked up [sic] and super invasive!!! Not cool.”

The reaction of One Direction fans seemed to differ from those fawning over the possibility of a relationship between Styles and Jenner, which they’ve dubbed “Hendall”, and those voicing their outrage over this invasion of privacy.

The Independent has approached a representative for Styles for comment.
