The heartbroken girlfriend of Avicii has released a statement after trolls have claimed she is to blame for the Swedish star's death last month.
Tereza Kačerová shared touching snaps of her with Avicii - real name Tim Bergling - and her little boy shortly after his death, revealing the pair had been in a 'secret relationship' for several months. She also included a long heartbreaking letter in which she opened up about the relationship and described the close bond between Tim and her son.

However, while most people commented to express their sympathy and condolences, some vile idiots took a pop at the model saying she was responsible for his death and accusing her of using him to 'get fame and money'.
Today she shared a long statement, slamming trolls and their 'hate-filled hearts'.

"You have excused me of 'exposing Tim' to get 'fame and money' while throwing every insult under the sun my way," she wrote.
"This is the most horrible time of my life. I'm drowning in all-encompassing sadness.
"Anxiety sets in about two hours before I open my eyes, I can't count the amount of times I've had a beer even before I brush my teeth, and I have to explain to Luka over and over that Tim can see him from the sky but he will never ever see Tim again.
"Yet all you are capable of is negativity. Sweet little comments like: 'Tim decided to check out because he was sick of you', go beyond crossing all lines, and you should be ashamed of yourselves for being such vile creatures.
"Strong words for anonymous accounts."
She went on to say that Avicii would be disgusted by the attitudes of some of those calling themselves his fans.
"You think it's in ANY way acceptable to try and make this more painful for me than it already is?
"'Tim would have wanted this, Tim would have wanted that...' First of all, you don't even have the right to call him Tim.
"Because as far as I know, Tim didn't know you exist. So sit down. He's Tim to me. To you he's Avicii.
"If you actually knew Tim, even in the SLIGHTEST, you would know he would be disgusted at your despicable behaviour.
"He would be appalled. You know nothing."
Addressing the trolls, she added: "It's not fair that low-lives like you still roam this world and baby angels like Tim had to go."
Avicii died on 20 April, his death led to an outpouring of shock and grief from across the music industry and from his army of fans.
