The star reminded her fans of her singing talents, directing them to a song she had written back in 2015 for a very personal - and emotional - reason.

Pauley took to Twitter to tell her followers that she had previously written a song, Beautiful Child, which she wrote in memory of her friend's late brother, who tragically lost his life.

The star wrote: "I wrote this song after my friend lost her younger brother. This video was made for awareness of @TrevorProject so #LGBT kids or anyone that thinks they have no one to talk to."

Fans were quick to applaud Pauley on her song, with one writing: "You are so talented," while another wrote: "That's a moving song. You have a beautiful voice." A third added: "This song is SO needed right now! Thank you for opening your heart and soul to create this! You are an amazing woman."
