Several of his followers were outraged by the image.

One user wrote: "David, to kiss lips of your daughter that's wrong." 

While another said: "To be honest kissing your daughter on the lips is a little weird."

However, many jumped to David's defence saying the bond he has with his child is "nothing less than beautiful."

One Instagram user even argued: "There's something very sick that people see anything other than pure & beautiful love between a parent and child kissing on the lips what a sad world we live in!"

This isn't the first time the Beckhams have come under fire for sharing their affection.

In 2016 Victoria Beckham posted a photo of her kissing Harper on her fifth birthday.
