She is perhaps better known for a string of film appearances, not to mention being the daughter of Phil Collins.
But now the spotlight has fallen on Lily Collins for another reason altogether - she is apparently the most "dangerous" celebrity to search for online.
The actress has ousted EmmaWatson who previously held the title awarded by security company McAfee.
Online searches for her name along with the words "free app download" or "nude pictures" result in more links to "risky" websites than any other celebrity, the firm said.
Collins tops a string of figures whose names are most likely to link to a website that has tested positive for threats such as spyware and viruses.
"But we need to remember that cybercriminals take advantage of the latest cultural trends, new movies and hit TV shows to target unsuspecting consumers seeking more information.
"These criminals want to lure us to unsafe sites that can severely infect computers and devices and even steal personal data."
