Melanie Griffith took to social media to celebrate a joyous occasion, that being her youngest daughter Stella Banderas' 27th birthday.
The actress, 66, shares her daughter with ex-husband Antonio Banderas, 63, to whom she was married from 1996-2015, and she marked the special day with a few rare photos.
She posted some snapshots of her as a child, and one of a baby Stella being held by her thrilled mom, capping off the series with more recent snapshots, including one alongside her half sister Dakota Johnson.
Melanie wrote: "Happy Birthday my beautiful Stella! Since the day you were born you have brought so much love, compassion and joy to our family and into the world. I love you with all of my heart. I'm honored to be your Mama."
Several famous friends like Kate Hudson, Frances Fisher, and Nancy Sinatra shared birthday wishes as well, with fans leaving comments like: "Perfect combination of both beautiful parents! Happy birthday!" and: "Beauty runs in your family!" as well as: "Such a beautiful child grown up! God bless Stella!"
Her dad Antonio took to Instagram as well with photos of the father-daughter pair, and gushed: "My dear daughter, your arrival to the world 27 years ago is still the most beautiful day of my life. Happy birthday Stella del Carmen!!!"
Melanie, whose own mom is screen legend Tippi Hedren, was previously married to Stephen Bauer between 1981 and 1989, and together they share 38-year-old son Alexander.

"Because it may be both or neither of you. There is a moment when things are over, you have to accept it," he added, emphasizing that for the sake of their daughter, they've remained close.
