Kylie Jenner's Instagram obsession has paid off, and it seems like her fans are just as obsessed with her. The youngest member of Kris and Bruce Jenner's brood celebrated acquiring 12 million followers on her Instagram site last week. What better way to celebrate than to share a series of posts to thank her fans?

The edgy teenager used the social media site to reach out to her fans to thank them for their support. She posted an artsy shot with herself walking on a path in a wooded area. She had her back turned to the camera with the shot showing the path and the foliage surrounding her. It was a symbolic photo seemingly referring to her position in front with her fans "following" her along the path, an obvious reference to how Instagram calls people "followers." She captioned the photo: "can't believe I've reached 12 mill. I ♡ y'all."

In a recent interview with V magazine wherein Kylie appeared in a spread with her sister Kendall, Kylie admitted how obsessed she is with the social media site. She admitted that she was the last one in the family to get into the craze but she quickly developed a liking for Instagram. The members of the Kardashian Jenner clan have been very active in social media, using it to post personal photos but also to promote their various business endeavours and endorsements.

Kylie's older sister Kim now has close to 19 million followers on Instagram and is notorious for posting provocative photos and selfies on her site. Kylie herself has been posting her fair share of selfies and has shown her style evolution through her Instagram site. Her 12 million followers have been mostly appreciative, but her posts have also stirred some criticism including plastic surgery accusations.

After posting her thank you note to her fans, Kylie went ahead and posted a sexy selfie while wearing a ripped up top that's been knotted to reveal her midsection. She paired it with grey boxers and an assortment of bangles and fierce red nails. Kylie has been sporting a long hairstyle as of late after having a short blunt bob for the past several months, which she had even dyed blue to her sister Kim's dismay during Kim's wedding to Kanye West.
