“Love you with all my heart, I'm so proud of you.”

Del Castillo also called for respect, as she urged her followers to just spread love and positivity.

“I’ll not accept any type of negative comments, we all deserve RESPECT. Let’s spread more love and positive messages,” she quipped.

Some pageant fans have expressed disappointment with the result of the pageant, claiming that Miss Peru was the rightful winner given her impressive answers during the question and answer portion of the top 5 finalists.

Radinela Chusheva, Bulgaria’s representative, went as far saying Mexico’s Meza was not deserving of the coveted title.

In a series of Instagram Stories updates on Monday, Chusheva said Canada’s Nova Stevens was the “best” and was more deserving.

Meza took home the crown, succeeding the previous winner from South Africa, Zozibini Tunzi.

Meanwhile, Philippine bet Rabiya Mateo finished in Top 21 but fell short in making it to the top 10 of the Miss Universe.
