Beyonce has shown her support for sister Solange Knowles following her now notorious bust-up with Jay Z by posting happy snaps of the pair on Instagram.

The famous family hit headlines on Monday when surveillance video from an elevator at the Standard Hotel in New York City appeared to show Solange hitting and kicking Jay Z as they left an after party following the Met Gala.

The clip apparently shows Beyonce calmly watching the furore, before stepping between the pair.

Speculation has been rife about what prompted the outburst, with some reports suggesting there is now a rift between the sisters after Solange deleted all pictures of Beyonce from her Instagram page on Tuesday.

However, Beyonce moved to end reports of a feud on Wednesday by posting four candid snaps of the sisters having fun in the past.

One shot shows the pair sitting in the back of a vehicle, in another they are kicking their legs in the air in a field, and a third features them hugging onstage at the Coachella music festival in California last month.

Beyonce and Jay Z put on a united front on Monday night at a basketball game between the Brooklyn Nets and Miami Heat in New York.
