You also need to inform your hosting company of this letter and the above actions you took or your site may get taken down. Make it clear to them that all images in question have been removed.
You are assuming too many things. The facts unknown include:

1) Is the complaint legitimate?

2) If so, did the source of the image(s) in question have prior knowledge of their true ownership?

3) Was any loss suffered by the complainant?

4) If so, was such loss caused, as a matter of fact, by the provider of said image(s) or by the user(s) of such?

5) As a matter of Law, which party is liable for any such loss?
