Paris Jackson helps godfather Macaulay Culkin celebrate his 37th birthday

Macaulay Culkin has celebrated his 37^th birthday with the help of his goddaughter and pal, Paris Jackson.

The 19-year-old actress and model shared a sweet throwback photo on Instagram, showing the friends with their arms wrapped around each other.

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY," Paris captioned the pic. "I LOVE YOU...make 37 your B----."

The pair have been close for years due to Macaulay's friendship with Paris' late father, Michael Jackson.

And last month Paris and Macaulay cemented their bond by getting matching tattoos of spoons.

While Paris has previously said that she has over 50 tattoos, this appeared to be the first for the Home Alone actor.

Like her friend, Paris has been working on a film career of her own.

Next year, the young star is set to make her feature film debut in Gringo which will see her appear opposite Charlize Theron, David Oyelowo, and Joel Edgerton.

Paris play Nelly, "an edgy 20-year-old", in the story of a mild-mannered American businessman (David) who becomes a criminal when he crosses the border to Mexico.

In May, a source told E! News that acting is Paris' number one goal.

"If you had to put her priorities in order, it would probably be acting, activism and modelling," the source said. "She's passionate about all of them. Her modelling career is really taking off and you can expect some big announcements coming in the next month or so."
