Charlie Sheen might be busy denying those pesky Corey Haim rape allegations, but his ex-wife Denise Richards is more focused on wishing their eldest daughter a happy 16th birthday!
On Monday, the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star took to Instagram to share a photo montage in celebration of her daughter Sam’s big day.

Alongside old and new pics of the teen, the Drop Dead Gorgeous actress wrote:
“Happy Sweet 16 birthday to my beautiful Sami… 🌈. My first born, ray of light, soulful, spiritual, wisdom beyond your years. I’m so honored & blessed to be your mom. It seems like yesterday that you were born. I admire so much your individuality, strength, love for animals, compassion, confidence, passion, & from such an early age always standing up for what you felt was right.”
The 49-year-old continued to sing her daughter’s praises, writing:
“You are the best big sister, daughter, friend, and a great role model for your peers. I couldn’t be more proud of you and I respect you so much. I love you my Sami. It pains me that I’m away working and cannot be there to celebrate but very soon I will be home to be there for you. Have a beautiful birthday💕… I love you”
Awwww!
Richards and Sheen were married from 2002-2006. In addition to Sam, they share 14-year-old daughter Lola Rose. Richards is also mother to 8-year-old daughter Eloise, whom her current husband Aaron Phypers is adopting.
The actress previously opened up about being a “strict parent,” telling People’s Celeb Parents Get Real last summer that she doesn’t let her daughters “do whatever they want.”
Richards told the outlet:
“I think that my daughters will tell you that I’m a strict parent… I definitely have rules and boundaries and there’s consequences.”
She also has hardcore surveillance, apparently. The Bravolebrity revealed she had installed security cameras outside her home to prevent Sam from going out to meet with boys without her permission.
Richards went on to tell the outlet that one of her daughters can be “extremely headstrong,” noting:
“My father said, ‘It might be challenging right now, but when she’s an adult, you are going to be so grateful because she is going to be one strong woman.’ And that’s when I was like, ‘Okay, that’s my daughter,’ because I’m pretty sure I was probably very similar with my parents.”
Probably, Denise!
