She's back!

The Ghostbusters actress, who decided to leave the social media site after her mentions became flooded with bigoted, disrespectful comments and memes sparked by a conservative reporter who called her performance "a minstrel show," returned with a hilarious message for her fans.

Here are the pair of tweets the actress fired off late Thursday afternoon:

Welcome back, Leslie!
