Daisies have a special meaning to Katy and Orlando Bloom

Katy and Orlando announced Daisy's arrival via UNICEF - they are Goodwill Ambassadors for the charity - sharing a black and white image of their newborn holding onto her daddy’s finger.

They said they were “floating with love and wonder from the safe and healthy arrival of our daughter," adding that they feel "lucky" and "grateful" to have been able to deliver their child so peacefully.

The famous couple's celebrity friends were quick to react to the news, including Orlando's ex Miranda Kerr, who posted a sweet comment on the actor's Instagram page.

"So happy for you guys, can't wait to meet her," she wrote.

Miranda and Orlando share nine-year-old son Flynn, who is equally excited about becoming a big brother again.

Orlando recently opened up about Flynn's reaction to finding out he would have a new sibling in an interview published in HELLO! magazine.

"Flynn couldn't be more excited to be getting a little sister – he's already got two brothers from Miranda so although the circumstances are definitely unusual, this is a wonderful time for us," he said.
