She wrote: “My Bella, wishing you a very happy birthday here on my page in addition to how I celebrate you privately.
“But wanted you know publicly as well: Yes, I love my daughter more than anything I could have ever imagined love to be. But your dad and I are also constantly in awe of you.

“You have a fearlessness that still surprises us. While Daddy and I may have a minor heart attack every time you find a cheap flight, book it, and later tell us you stayed in questionable places, you’ve always lived life on your own terms.
“You embrace change. You chase experiences. You want to see the world, learn about different cultures, and squeeze every drop out of life. You’ve traveled more than most people I know who don’t actually do it for a living.
Tribute
“You are the kind of friend who would travel across an ocean to help a friend in need without thinking twice. You show up for the people you love everyday.
“You rescue animals whenever you can (although somehow I usually end up taking care of them). And you are genuinely one of the kindest people I know. Your sass drives us crazy sometimes, but we know that it is a valuable quality you will need for protection.
“What I love most is that your beauty has never been the most interesting thing about you. Your heart, your loyalty, your curiosity, your courage, talent and your sense of humor shine even brighter.

“I hope you feel celebrated today for exactly who you are. Happy birthday, Bella. We love you more than words can ever express.”
Leah, who divorced from Sofia’s father in 2024, also shared several childhood and baby photos of Sofia.
In a 2019 conversation with her friend Michelle Visage, Leah said raising a daughter can be “difficult”.
“I want her to grow up a little classier than her mother and father, I mean, call me crazy… She’s empathetic and compassionate and that really is what I care about, that she’s a person that cares for others and she’s a person that sticks up for others,” she said.
