The birthday celebration came after Beckinsale was spotted picking up her daughter at arrivals terminal inside John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York City on Friday.

Hours before the sighting, Beckinsale revealed on Live with Kelly and Ryan that she hadn't seen Lily in person since before the pandemic.

"I haven't seen my daughter for two years because of everything. Also, I went to Canada working and she couldn't come see me," she explained during Friday's broadcast of the show. "Two years of not seeing your child is the most preposterous thought."

During their time apart, Beckinsale and Lily relied on technology to stay connected.

"Thank goodness for FaceTime and all that, but we're both panicking that we'll look really old to each other," she joked. "My daughter's 22 and looks 8. So she's like, 'I'm just worried that you're going to think I look old.' I'm like, 'I'm going to look old!'"
