She's been busy on the promotional trail for highly-anticipated film Pitch Perfect 3.

But Rebel Wilson has still managed to find time for her nearest and dearest, taking her grandparents to the Australian premiere of the movie on Wednesday night.

The 37-year-old captured the sweet moment in a video shared to Instagram on Saturday, revealing her grandparents had 'partied til 11pm' after the screening.

In the social media video, a beaming Rebel tells the camera: 'OK I'm inside and guess who is here?'

Showing her grandparents Rebel can be heard saying: 'Number one fan, number one grandma, number one grandpa ... They're ready to come and be the first people to see Pitch Perfect 3!'

Asking her grandmother if she was excited, the beaming lady replied: 'Yes darling of course I am excited, we are very proud - number one fans!'

Supportive: Rebel revealed that her grandparents had gone to great lengths to support her at the premiere

In the video's caption on Instagram, Rebel revealed that her grandparents had gone to great lengths to support her at the premiere.

She wrote: 'My grandpa got out of hospital and my grandma got out her walker to come to the Pitch Perfect 3 world premiere! They partied til 11pm. Best grandparents ever!'

Rebel's Australian promotional tour for Pitch Perfect 3 comes as she opened up about her defamation case in an interview with Sunday Night last month.

In the emotional segment, Rebel tearfully recalled how she was left devastated by the publisher's 'brutal' articles, leaving the actress feeling 'bullied' by the media.

'They have no idea how actually brutally hard it is ... yes I am an actress and I am in the public eye, but I'm a human being,' the 37-year-old said.

In June, Rebel won her legal case against Bauer Media for eight articles published in their magazines, including Woman's Day and OK! Magazine, which claimed she had lied about her real name, age and childhood.

The judge found the articles had damaged her reputation and marketability, awarding the actress a $4.5 million payout in October.

Bauer Media are appealing against the verdict and payout.
