Ghostbusters actress and comedian Leslie Jones’ website was hacked on Wednesday and nude photos of her and personal information including her passport and driver’s license were posted, according to media reports.

The website, www.JustLeslie.com, was subsequently taken offline.

Several accounts of the hacking, which was first reported by TMZ.com, said it appeared the website was accessed through Jones’ personal cellphone or iCloud account, which lets users store photos and other content online and access it from any Apple device.

Representatives from Apple Inc and Jones’ agent did not respond to requests for comment.

Among the images posted to her website was a video of Harambe, the gorilla killed by the Cincinnati Zoo after a three-year-old boy fell into his pen in May, according to the reports.
