Fan opinion was divided.

Elizabeth Hurley has caused mixed reactions from fans because of her latest photo in a skimpy bikini. It wasn't the 56-year-old actress's toned curves that caused controversy, but the starfish Elizabeth held in her hands.

Hurley explained that she had picked them up at the beach and returned them to the seabed. However, some fans condemned her for taking starfish in her hands.

"Never take them out of water. They will probably die once touched and taken out of the water. Starfish are super sensitive," one wrote.

Others reassured Elizabeth and said that this species of animal is constantly washed up on the beach, so nothing terrible happened to them. However, there were those who didn’t care about starfish, because Hurley looks really amazing for her age.
