Chloe, 32, is Olivia's daughter from her marriage to American actor Matt Lattanzi in the 1980s. 

'Momma and Me,' Chloe captioned a photo of herself embracing her mother on the deck of their boat.

In another picture, Olivia looked upbeat alongside her husband John Easterling and others, including Chloe and her fiancé James Driskill.

In September, Olivia confirmed she was fighting cancer for a third time.

The four-time Grammy winner was first diagnosed with breast cancer in 1992, undergoing a partial mastectomy and reconstruction. 

She battled cancer for a second time in 2013, but kept the illness private.

Meanwhile, Chloe looked happy and healthy in the holiday snaps posted on Tuesday.

It's believed to be the first time she has publicly shared a photo to Instagram since  August 2018.

At the time, she bid farewell to her 47,000 followers, telling them she needed a break from social media for her own well-being.

'This is so hard,' she wrote. 'I just feel I've become addicted to screens and media, and it's distracting me from what's real.'

Chloe previously struggled with depression for 15 years, and also had issues with anorexia, body dysmorphia, drug addiction and alcohol dependency.

Returning to Instagram this week, Chloe has only 18 posts on her grid having deleted the vast majority of her photos.

Interestingly, she no longer appears to follow fiancé James, whom she got engaged to in 2010. However, he was featured in her recent photos. 

Daily Mail Australia has contacted Chloe and James for comment.
