My Instagram got hacked

Hello everyone, I wanted to be sure I made a post letting everyone know my Instagram account was hacked today (at random), it was all the while posting a video & I got locked out of my account and can’t recover anything. I made a new one for temporary use until I hear back from IG on the matter, assuming I will get an answer, I am highly upset as I worked extremely hard on that account for my business & it had memories I won’t get back. While I do have some photos and videos saved, it would take forever to post 1800 pictures/videos once again. 

I am sorry this inconvenience has happened & I hope all of you will continue to support me if I have to create a new account.  I will keep everyone up to date on the matter on my FB page, although I may need to delete it and remake one because sadly I can’t link it to my new IG account because it is already linked with the hacked account. It blows. I can’t believe this actually happened to me. 

If anyone else has ever ran into this issue, please feel free to share the results and steps you had to take in order to recover your account. If you have any tips/advice, please leave comments, I am open to everything at this point. Again, sorry and hopefully I will have more information for you in the upcoming days.
