An Instagram star has been left in floods of tears on a YouTube video after her account was deleted.

Jessy Taylor, from the US, shared the video in which she was distraught at the idea of being one of "the people that work a 9-5 job". The 21-year-old, who had over 100k followers, says she believes the account was deleted because of people reporting her - although it's not clear why.

In the video posted to YouTube, she sobs: "I'm trying to get it back, I'm calling everybody I can and I don't know why it's not working out for me.

"I'm in LA because of this. I'm in LA because I want to be on Instagram. I'm nothing without my following, I am nothing without my following.'

"And when people try to hate on me or report me I'm literally trying to be a f*cking better person. I want to say to everybody that's reporting me - think twice because you're ruining my life, because I make all of my money online, all of it and I don't want to lose that."

She then went on to say that a 'regular job' isn't for her: "I know people like to see me be down and be like them and the ninety per centers - the people who work 9-5 - that is not me, I am in LA to not be like that'.

"I've worked so f*cking hard to get to where I'm at and for that to get taken from me is the worst feeling in the world.

"It literally sucks having people want to come after you for no reason."

She finished: "I'm not work material... I will never be work material."

I mean, sometimes I feel like crying when my alarm goes off in the morning? Idk.

Jessy has since started a new Instagram account, and already has nearly 3,000 followers.
