The TikTok star reached the new milestone after losing a million followers last week following backlash over a controversial video of her family at dinner. Charli D'Amelio is building a TikTok empire! On Sunday, the 16-year-old social media star became the first creator on the platform to reach 100 million followers.

"IS THIS REAL LIFE RIGHT NOW," D'Amelio tweeted early Sunday morning. "100 MILLION PEOPLE SUPPORTING ME!! I TRULY CANNOT BELIEVE THAT THIS IS REAL." She later shared a video message with her fans on TikTok. "Thank you guys so so so much, I cannot believe that there is 100 million supporters following me right now," D'Amelio said. "That is insane, oh my goodness."
