Coco Arquette, daughter of Friends actress Courteney Cox and Scream actor David Arquette, turned 20 on Thursday, and her parents took to Instagram to rave about their beloved child.
Courteney shared a blustery beach photo with her mini-me daughter in which they both wore cream-colored outfits and their raven-locks were blowing in the wind.
“Happy birthday to my beautiful, sweet, kind, sensitive and creative Coco," she wrote alongside several other photos through the years. "You never cease to make me laugh. I love you sooooo much co to the lo *heart emojis*”.
David posted a video reel to his Instagram filled with sweet pictures of his only daughter, set to the tune of ‘Voodoo Chile’ by Jimi Hendrix.

The reel included photos of Coco posing with her half-siblings, Charlie, eight, and Augustus, five, whom David shares with his wife, Entertainment Tonight reporter Christina McLarty.
