Goldie Hawn loves nothing more than being a grandmother and has a close bond with her seven grandchildren.

And over the weekend, her oldest granddaughter, Rio, nine, managed to make her dad, Oliver Hudson, become overcome with emotion during a milestone moment that was documented online.

Oliver took to Instagram to share a photo of himself and his only daughter - who looks identical to her famous grandmother - as she attended her very first Lakers game.

Rio was all smiles as she stood alongside her father, kitted out from head-to-toe in Lakers gear.

"Rio's first Lakers game. I cried," Oliver wrote alongside the image.

Goldie was one of the first to respond to the photo, writing: "xoxoxoxoo," while many more fans joined in with the comments. "Best dad, best girl," Meredith Hagner - the wife of Wyatt Hudson - wrote. "Love it, she's getting so big," a fan added, while another follower remarked: "She's so adorable, I can see her aunty Kate and grandmother Goldie in her looks."

Rio is the youngest child and only daughter of Oliver and his wife, Erinn Bartlett. The couple are also parents to sons Bodhi, 12, and Wilder, 15.

She has an especially close bond with Goldie, with her parents having paid tribute to the star in her full moniker. Rio's middle name is Laura, which was in honor of Goldie's mother, Laura Hawn.
