The below is response received from the Meta support admin but I'm unable to respond due to error: You have reached the limit for number of private messages that you can send for now. Please try again later.
 
I have waited a day or so and it's still giving me the error so I'm making a post here instead.
 
"For this, firstly, please make sure you have:

1) Attempted to unlink your Instagram profile from the Meta account yourself
2) Changed your Instagram and Facebook passwords
3) Enabled 2-Factor Authentication (2FA) on your Instagram and Facebook accounts

Once you've completed those steps, just let us know! "
 
I tried to unlink the account, it asks me to create a password for the meta account and when I tried to delete the hacker’s email it asks me to log in to their meta account. I'm not sure if it's even the same account? 
 
I have changed the passwords, my facebook is not linked to Instagram but I have changed the password for that too.  2FA is enabled on both.

Hi, did it work out for you?

I'm currently dealing with the same thing. Can't delete the hackers' emails to regain control of my Instagram account...
