The daughter of two Oscar-winning actors celebrated her 22nd birthday on the weekend. She was met with well wishes on social media over the occasion, with her famous parents among those who reached out to mark the event.

Carys Douglas, 22, is the youngest child of Catherine Zeta-Jones, 55, and her husband Michael Douglas, 80, who have been married since 2000. The couple are also parents to their son Dylan Douglas, 24, together and Michael has an older son, Cameron Douglas, 46, from his first marriage.
