Isla Fisher has thanked her 'supportive' friends in the wake of her recent divorce from ex-husband Sacha Baron Cohen.
The Australian actress, 48, took to Instagram on Wednesday with a poignant post to finish off her 2024 by showing 'gratitude' to her loved ones.
The former Home and Away star shared a bare-faced selfie that saw her soaking up some sun alongside the message.
'I'm ending 2024 with gratitude,' Isla began her post.
'For my family and old friends who have supported and loved me, to the new friends who have opened their hearts and homes to me and my children.
'And to those who kept shooting me texts to check in. I love you all and I wish you the happiest 2025.'

The tribute comes after Isla pocketed almost $1 million after selling her Sydney apartment amid her divorce from Sacha.
The Hollywood star announced the end of her 14-year marriage to the British comedian, 53, in April 2024.
In the wake of their split, Isla was trying to offload her two-bedroom Woollahra flat and managed to put through a sale in October after slashing the price.
It was revealed, in November, exactly how much Isla managed to secure for the art deco apartment, which she bought for $171,500 almost 30 years ago in 1995.
Isla pocketed a generous $930,000 from the sale after it was originally listed for a $1.1 million guide price at auction, according to reports.
Isla first listed the unit for sale in September, but was forced to slash the price twice before the auction was shelved due to a 'soft' market.
Following the auction's cancellation, she shed another $100,000 from its price guide before returning to the market at a stable $990,000.
The sale was eventually settled through a private negotiation on October 22, with Isla said to be 'happy' with the sale result.

Isla bought the property, set on the edge of Centennial Park, just one year after launching her career as Shannon Reed on Home and Away.
While working on huge Hollywood films like Wedding Crashers and Confessions of a Shopaholic, she used her Sydney digs as a rental investment property.
It was last marketed in early 2021 for $400 per week, having been slashed from $680 a week amid the Covid-impacted rental market.
The apartment boasts a quiet and elevated rear position in the building along with a 'spacious' updated kitchen, bathroom and a master bedroom with built-ins.
More recently, Isla had been living in Western Australia with her now-ex-husband Sacha, but is believed to be looking to relocate to north London.
Sources recently told The Daily Mail's Alison Boshoff that she has a budget of £13 million (AUD$24 million) and was house-hunting in Hampstead.
Isla and Sacha jointly filed to end their marriage in 2023 and publicly confirmed their separation in April 2024.
Their statement read: 'After a long tennis match lasting over 20 years, we are finally putting our racquets down.
'I'm ending 2024 with gratitude. For my family and old friends who supported and loved me, to the new friends who have opened their hearts and homes to me and my children,' she said
'In 2023 we jointly filed to end our marriage. We have always prioritised our privacy and have been quietly working through this change.
'We forever share in our devotion and love for our children. We sincerely appreciate your respecting our family's wish for privacy.'
The couple first met back in 2001 and tied the knot in 2010, with the end of their marriage coming just a few years after relocating their family to Australia.
They share three children—two daughters and one son—who they keep out of the public eye.
