Posting a photo of herself and one of her beloved horses, the Big Bang Theory star got candid about mental health, as she sweetly wrote: "Sometimes it's ok to not feel totally ok. Even on ur bday.

She then praised her friends, fans and family for their support, adding: "The amount of LOVE I received today was overwhelming. The messages. The gifts. The calls. The check-ins. All of it. Meant the world to me."

And it's clear that the star got a lot of support from her friends, as she posted dozens and dozens of tributes from them on her Instagram Stories, capturing candid and heartfelt moments alike.

Kaley's birthday would have been a poignant one for the actress this year as it was the first one she celebrated since she split from husband Karl Cook.

The star shared an emotional message

The two shared the sad news back in September, in a statement which read: "Despite a deep love and respect for one another, we have realized that our current paths have taken us in opposite directions.

"We have both shared so much of our journey publicly so while we would prefer to keep this aspect of our personal life private, we wanted to be forthcoming in our truth together. There is no anger or animosity, quite the contrary."
