Hanna has caused concern for her well-being after posting over 100 videos to TikTok in less than 24 hours.

The posts started on 23 August when she posted a video claiming that she was going to save the world.

The influencer posted video after video talking about a variety of topics including religion, the universe and death, with Hanna becoming more and more incoherent.

At one point she confirms that the police have conducted a welfare check and in further videos she lets her followers know she has let a stranger named Nick into her home.

In the last video that Hanna posted on TikTok she shares that her home has been broken into.

What did she say in her videos?

The videos make for uncomfortable viewing, with fans appealing to Hanna in the comments to get help.

At the time of writing, the last video Hanna posted, which has 13.4 million views, sees her looking into a mirror telling her fans that someone has just broken into her home and asking them for prayers.

In another video Hanna explains to her fans that she has been visited by the police who completed a wellness check after a neighbour who heard her screaming in her backyard alerted the authorities.

Hanna told her followers that she was “screaming encouragement at you”.

Adding: “Yes, literally. They left me a card. Did not, did, d-i-d, not meet the criteria for hold. Will contact PR with update”.

Although Hanna has reassured fans throughout her videos that she is okay, the clips are tough to watch.

In one of her videos, which has been viewed 1.5 million times she films herself screaming “HELP ME” and “WAKE THE F**K UP.”

In another video Hanna films herself shouting: “God I wish I could sleep, I can’t wait to sleep God please let me sleep. But I can’t today cuz there’s babies dying on the f***ing street.”

At one point Hanna reveals to her followers that she has let a stranger called Nick into her house who then goes on to feature in some of her videos.

Nick then shared live videos on his TikTok account of being in Hanna’s home.

The last time we see Nick is when Hanna screams at him to leave telling her to “Get the F**k out of my house now”.

Followers and those who have watched the videos have become increasingly worried for the influencer, taking to Twitter to share their concerns.

One Twitter user @TLOZ_Triforce17 said: “I am genuinely concerned about Gabbie Hanna right now. Fan or not, she’s clearly not ok. This type of shit cannot be faked because you can tell if it’s faked. She’s experiencing a serious mental break and she needs help. Mental health is important, and she’s clearly in crisis.”

Another user @gothspiderbitch, who had spoken out against the influencer in the past, expressed their concern.

“I’ve spoken out against Gabbie Hanna a lot in the past but whatever she’s going through right now is terrifying. I had a very mild psychological break and I’m still picking up pieces a year later. I hope she has loved ones who can step in and get her help before things escalate.”
