Hi, i am planning to use celebrities images from Instagram in my website, I will be regularly copying few selected celebrity images from their Insta account. Does this cause any copyright issue?

Yes, celebrities have the right to claim copyright if you use their images on your website without permission.

But in most cases, they don't claim it until you miss use their name or damage their credibility. I used many celebrities' photos from Instagram on my news website for the past 5 years.

Haven't received any claim to date. Always give Image Courtesy/citation to photo source in your website post.

In most cases, first, they give the warning to remove your image source. So as far as you promote them on your website, you can feel free to use them. Or else don't add them.

Thanks for the update.
What if i just embed Instagram posts which displays images directly from Instagram.

If there is any issue, just deleting the images if anyone sends copyright notice is fine. I am afraid it it can cause any legal issues.

@thambyz - You can embed Insta posts on your site content. There is no copyright issue for it.

Only uploading images directly on your website might receive copyright. (if so)
