Christie's shorts were a hit with fans

The comment was quickly liked by more than 50 people, proving that they all loved her beach look.

Christie, 66, has been living in her Caribbean home since the beginning of the year. She's since been accompanied by several of her children, who have taken turns in being a photographer for their mum's daily social media posts.

Most recently, the star was forced to defend her daily beach post as a fan labelled them "inappropriate".

Christie posted several pictures of her watering her plants in a stunning red swimsuit and reflected on the "current chaos" of America, something which did not sit well with a follower.

Christie's recent post of her watering her flowers recently came under fire

"I think you are a good person but posting these luxurious vacation photos when people are losing everything due to the pandemic is not appropriate. Please stop," they told her, prompting Christie to defend herself, simply stating, "This is my home."

Others jumped to her defence, with one stating: "Inappropriate? Seriously? Christie has owned and vacationed at her home at Parrot Cay for years. She does not owe anyone an apology for sharing photos."
