Actress Joan Collins sparked a wholesome fan reaction on Sunday when she shared an ultra-rare photograph of her youngest daughter, Katy.
In a celebratory birthday post shared to Instagram, the Dynasty star uploaded a beaming snapshot that showed the pair posing together at a round table.
Dressed to impress, Joan, 91, looked radiant wearing a ruched coffee-hued top which she teamed with a cream blazer emblazoned with a pink and navy check pattern.
The legendary TV star elevated her look with a wide-brim hat, pearlescent disc earrings and a statement pearl crucifix. Katy, meanwhile, looked stylish dressed in a chic quilted jacket and a black beanie.
Paying tribute to Katy on her birthday, Joan wrote in her caption: “My beautiful #daughter Katy enjoying the happiest of birthdays last Friday #daughtersareforever #daughterslove.”
Fans and friends quickly inundated the comments section with touching messages. One wrote: “Beautiful photo of you both”, while a second added: “What a beautiful photo of you both”, and a third commented: “Happy birthday Katy. I love her jacket!”

Whilst Katy tends to avoid the spotlight, Joan did open up about her daughter in her 2023 BBC Documentary titled This Is Joan. Sharing a glimpse into their family life, Joan revealed that Katy suffered a traumatic car accident when she was eight years old.

Aside from Katy, Joan is also a doting mother to her two eldest children, Alexander and Tara, whom she shares with her second husband, Anthony Newely.
Tara is a journalist and screenwriter, while Alexander is a published author and artist.
