Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom’s celebrity friends have shared congratulatory messages after the couple welcomed their first child together.

The singer, 35, and the actor, 43, announced the news of their daughter Daisy Dove’s birth through Unicef, as they are both goodwill ambassadors of the charity.

"We are floating with love and wonder from the safe and healthy arrival of our daughter," the couple said in a statement shared on the charity’s social media platforms, alongside a black and white photo showing them holding their baby’s tiny hand.

Perry and Bloom, who got engaged last year but had to postpone their wedding plans due to the coronavirus pandemic, later re-shared the post on their personal social media accounts.

Their famous friends were quick to voice their congratulations, with Stranger Things star Millie Bobby Brown commenting: “Yay!!! Congratulations so happy for you guys.”

Posted @withregram • @unicef Welcome to the world, Daisy Dove Bloom! We are honoured to introduce Goodwill Ambassadors @KatyPerry and @OrlandoBloom’s new bundle of joy.⠀ ⠀ “We are floating with love and wonder from the safe and healthy arrival of our daughter,” Katy and Orlando told us.⠀ ⠀ “But we know we’re the lucky ones and not everyone can have a birthing experience as peaceful as ours was. Communities around the world are still experiencing a shortage of healthcare workers and every eleven seconds a pregnant woman or newborn dies, mostly from preventable causes. Since COVID-19 many more newborn lives are at risk because of the increased lack of access to water, soap, vaccines and medicines that prevent diseases. As parents to a newborn, this breaks our hearts, as we empathize with struggling parents now more than ever.⠀ ⠀ “As UNICEF Goodwill Ambassadors, we know UNICEF is there, on the ground, doing whatever it takes to make sure every expecting mother has access to a trained health worker and access to quality healthcare. In celebration of the heart we know our daughter already has, we have set up a donation page to celebrate DDB’s arrival. By supporting them, you are supporting a safe start to life and reimagining a healthier world for every child. We hope your ♥️ can bloom with generosity.⠀ ⠀ Gratefully-⠀ ⠀ Katy & Orlando.”⠀ ⠀ Please tap the link in our bio to support the most precious gift: a healthy child.
