Kim Kardashian has reached out to thank fans for their support in the wake of her shock split from new husband Kris Humphries.

The socialite's highly-publicized marriage to the sports star came to an end last month as the reality TV star announced she had filed for divorce just 72 days after their lavish TV wedding.

Kardashian flew to Australia for a promotional trip after the news broke, but cut short the visit and stepped out of the spotlight to recuperate.

She has now spoken out to acknowledge her loyal devotees for standing by her following her big announcement.

In a post on her blog, she writes, "Hi everyone! I just wanted to thank you guys for all your support these last two weeks. I took a break from blogging for a while, but I've missed you guys so much and I want to start sharing my updates with you all again.

"I've been reading all your comments on here and, as always, my loyal blog dolls have been nothing but supportive. You all know who you are, so thank you! I love you guys."
