Salma has been saddened by the amount of gun crime in the US

The star's post was in stark contrast to the one she shared over the weekend to celebrate mother's day. 

Salma - whose daughter is 14 years old - posted a photo of herself with a baby bump, when she was pregnant with her only child. 

The actress is happily married to Valentina's father, Francois-Henri Pinault, who she tied the knot with in 2009.

Salma and Francois have a daughter together who is now 14

She previously opened up about her relationship with Francois when she told Allure: "[Francois] is the best husband in the world. I get to be who I am with him, and I don’t feel that somebody tries to limit me."

Before they got married, she said she told the French billionaire: "I have a system in my life that I've chosen, where my expenses from before the marriage are my expenses."

Salma continued: "And he goes, 'I know. That's why I want to marry you.' "Maybe that's also part of what works great in my marriage. I still have my independence. But he likes it. I get a lot of respect from him."
