The caption reads: "Comic-Con. I love you, I appreciate you and I'm so sorry for anyone who is let down by this but I will make it up to you xx".
Dressed in a Batman t-shirt, Ruby informed her followers: "I come with bad news, sad news. I will unfortunately not be able to make it to Comic-Con this year and it is devastating.
"I have wanted to go to Comic-Con for a million years and never did I think that I would be invited as a guest and to be speaking on two incredible panels, let alone have my face plastered everywhere.

"Just know that we tried everything that we could, humanly, to be there," she adds. "It wasn't until really now that we realised there wasn't any other way to finish this episode, this ambitious episode that we're doing and create this amazing show that really, really is special."
She later refers to her appreciation of the show's supporters, noting "I'll make it up to you, thank you so much."
Meanwhile, this year's convention has suffered from some further cancellations, as Game of Thrones showrunners David Benioff and Dan Weiss also pulled out of their commitments earlier this week.
Batwoman will air on The CW in the US. UK broadcast details are yet to be announced.
