Selena Gomez has made a rare appearance on Instagram, three months after she reportedly sought help for anxiety and depression.
The 26-year-old singer appeared to be in good spirits, surrounded by friends as they enjoyed snow tubing in Southern California, following her reported exit from a treatment centre in New York.
Gomez posed for pictures alongside a large group of friends including, Wizards of Waverley Place co-star Bailee Madison and model pal Connar Franklin.
Posing in an over-sized parker, black beanie and Taylor Swift stadium tour hoodie, the Back To You singer grinned as she posed for the camera.

A source told Hollywood life: “Demi’s heartbroken that Selena’s suffering like this.
“She knows exactly what it’s like to struggle with depression and anxiety and how painful it is. Demi’s a very sensitive person. She loves Selena so to know she’s hurting this much has hit Demi hard.”
The insider added: “As soon as Demi heard the news she reached out to offer her support to Selena and her family.
“Demi is planning to send a card and a care package too. She wants Selena to feel the love.”
Gomez suffers from auto-immune disease Lupus which can trigger anxiety and depression.
Standard Online has contacted representatives for Gomez for comment.
