Kylie Jenner has been bullied since the age of nine because of her famous family

Speaking in a clip shared on Snapchat, Kylie said: "Half of you guys think I'm weird. And the other half think I'm funny. But I've been bullied since I've been nine. From the whole world it feels like sometimes.

"And I think, I think I've done a really great job in handling all of this. But there are bullies everywhere."

The emotional video was shared on Twitter by her elder sister Kendall, 22, who admitted it had made her cry, as Kylie's words were spoken over candid clips from her life.

She added: "So this just a little like Snapchat to tell whoever with their own bullies that the only opinion that really matters is yours and to never change...

"This isn't a pity party, though, don't get it twisted. This is for those with bullies out there to know that you're not alone. Now goodnight, spread love."

Kylie's life is a constant source of interest and speculation for millions of her followers.

But the reality star - who has a seven-month-old daughter called Stormi with boyfriend Travis Scott - recently revealed she's developed a "thick skin" over the years.

She said: "So many negative things come at me all the time. Of course, it does affect me, but you develop a thick skin.

"Nothing has lasted so long that I haven't gotten through it, so whenever a new bad story or rumour emerges, I know it will pass, too. Everything in life is transient."
