Abigail Breslin has zero time for negative commenters or those not taking the pandemic seriously.

The Scream Queens actress, 25, had some choice words for an Instagram user who commented on a picture of her sporting a face covering while riding a roller coaster in Las Vegas, in which they wrote, "Who's the pathetic loser wearing a mask?"

"That pathetic loser would be me, someone who lost their dad due to someone not wearing a mask and giving him Covid," Breslin responded, curtly adding, "You can kindly go f— off now."

"Hard to write this. Harder than I thought.. I'm in shock and devastation," Breslin started a lengthy Instagram post announcing her dad's death at the time.

This isn't the first time Breslin has defended wearing a mask amid the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. Shortly after her dad was placed on a ventilator after testing positive for COVID, the Little Miss Sunshine actress addressed the importance of protecting oneself and others by wearing a face covering.

"This is me saying that If you asked my dad: a mask is FAR LESS uncomfortable than a ventilator," she wrote. "So stfu. And wear your damn mask. Please."

Over the Christmas holiday, the award-winning actress penned an emotional note to her Instagram page, marking the first holiday without her dad. "My first holiday season sans my dad," she wrote in part. "I love the holiday season and I'm so thankful I get to spend it with my mom, my brothers, my friends and my boyfriend… I'm truly blessed."

Continued Breslin: "But it's hard to know I can't call my daddy and wish him a merry Christmas or send him a gift certificate to a good steakhouse (lol). Some days are harder than others… grief is a tricky little monster."
