Nina Dobrev bid the cast and crew of The Vampire Diaries farewell yet again after returning to film the March 10 series finale.

'Today I shot my last scene of the Vampire Diaries forever,' the 28-year-old starlet - who boasts 24.1M followers - wrote.

'Coming back for the series finale has been a whirlwind of emotion, nostalgia, love, tears of joy and bittersweet endings. It feels like the beautiful closure we all needed, myself included, and I couldn't have been happier to come home to be with my TVD set family and friends.'

The xXx actress spent eight years playing four different characters on The CW soap, including Elena Gilbert who was unceremoniously written off in a permanent slumber during the sixth season.

'I grew up on this show and am eternally grateful for all the opportunities it has given me,' Dobrev continued.

'I feel the fans family will also be happy with the shows conclusion when they tune in to watch the last episode air in a few short weeks. 

From the bottom of my heart I send you my biggest thanks for the countless years of implicit dedication, passion, support, and undying love from all the fans that have stuck with us on this truly amazing and beautiful journey.'
