Troubled star Britney Spears has released a message thanking her fans for sticking by her during her �trying time�.

The pop star has posted up a tribute to her loyal fans on her website, following her recent divorce and stint in rehab.

She writes, �I am so blessed that you care enough about me to be concerned and will continue to live in this brighter state with all of you by myself during this trying time.�

Fair enough, but Britney loses us a little when she adds, �We are all lights of the world and we all need to continuously inspire others and look to the higher power."
