The statement, shared on Instagram Stories, began, 'We understand that fans of Love Island have opinions on Friday night's episode.'
They said they don't want to comment on the events of the show, but they do want to remind people of the following.
'You are watching a highly edited TV show which is created for entertainment - you can never see the full picture.'
Secondly, 'Faye is human. She may not always get things right.'
And finally, 'There are human beings managing the Islander's social media pages who will be seriously affected by your comments.'
Faye's family are asking that people keep these three things in mind when posting comments online.

'We would encourage anyone struggling to do the same thing,' the statement continued.
'We hope that we can all get back to enjoying the show together from now on.'
'Love team Faye x,' the statement concluded.
