Concerned fans of Britney Spears have contacted the police to conduct a wellness check on the singer after she deleted her Instagram once again.

As reported by TMZ, the 41-year-old musician - who recently addressed a 'manic' episode in a restaurant with her husband Sam Asghari - sparked concern from fans after she suddenly deactivated her social media page.

Her supporters called the Ventura Co. Sheriff's Office to ask that officers be sent to the 'Gimme More' pop star's Thousand Oaks, California home to check on her.

Upon examination, a police spokesperson determined that the 'Toxic' hitmaker is not in any "any kind of harm or any kind of danger," and did not disclose whether they made direct contact with her, per Page Six.

According to the outlet, the officer did not reveal just how many calls they received from fans and explained that their reason for providing little information was because any more clarity made it a "public trust issue".

"It’s just a privacy thing for the residents in our county," they said. "It’s a public trust issue. We just don’t disclose those kinds of things [such as wellness checks]. It’s not a crime.

"We don’t really talk about any kind of mental health issues or anything like that," he continued before reiterating, "I can’t confirm or deny that deputies went to her house, but we don’t believe that Britney Spears is in any kind of harm or danger at this point."

Some of the Grammy-winning singer's worried supporters who made the calls to the police took to TikTok on January 26 to livestream the wellness check requests.

"I was calling because I am worried about the physical safety of a resident in your area," one of the callers, who identified herself as 'Christina,' said in the footage (that has since been deleted on the platform).

When the officer questioned why the fan wanted a wellness check, 'Christina' responded: "There’s been suspicious activity online and now her account has been deleted."

The officer said they would pass on the information to another colleague and didn't provide any more details.

The 'Baby One More Time' hitmaker - who days ago claimed she had changed her name to River Red - has repeatedly taken down her Instagram in recent months.

Page Six reported that before Spears' most recent social media shutdown, she posted a picture of a car and a long caption, where she wrote: "sucks to be me" and: "Giving someone I love my everything only gives me the dagger in my heart!!!"

Many of her followers suspected that the caption was in reference to her marriage since media reports claimed that her 28-year-old husband walked out on her while they were dining at a restaurant.

However, the publication shared that her fitness beau took to his Instagram Stories after to defend his wife, writing: "Don’t believe what you read online people."
