Washington, April 3 : Hollywood actress Demi Moore has branded a photographer "thief", after he clicked her pictures without her permission.

Writing on her webpage on social networking site Twitter. com, the actress has referred to an incident that took place while she was shopping with her teenage daughter, Scout, in Paris.

She revealed that the persistent snapper pursued her through the streets of France on March 31.

"If someone takes something without consent for profit, it is theft!" Contactmusic quoted her as saying.

"The photog stealing pics of me shopping, sightseeing w/ (with) Scout squealed and ran like a little girl when I turned my camera & confronted him!

"If it is so okay to stalk and chase then why did he run after hiding in a dressing room... all so I couldn't take his photo?" she added. (ANI)
