She jetted to New York to celebrate her 54th birthday.
And Helena Bonham Carter spent her big day surrounded by her loved ones as she headed out in the Big Apple with toyboy boyfriend Rye Dag Holmboe, 32, and her mother Elena on Sunday.
The BAFTA Award winning actress seemed in high spirits on the outing as she strolled arm in arm with her nearest and dearest.

They have since been spotted out and about together a number of times, and the writer visited the actress on the set of The Crown in Spain at the end of 2018.
‘Everyone thought it was a fling but it now seems to be hotting up as they are joined at the hip,’ a source told the Mail on Sunday.
‘Some people are surprised that Helena has found someone who is younger and from a different walk of life, but others are less surprised as it is very like her to do the unexpected.’
Helena had a famously unconventional 13-year relationship with director Burton which ended in 2014.
The pair, who are parents to children Billy, 15, and Nell, 11, lived in two adjourning houses in London during their relationship.
The actress will next be on screens in the eagerly awaited new series of The Crown, in which she plays Princess Margaret, who also famously had a toyboy lover.
Last year she shot scenes alongside actor Harry Treadaway, 34, who plays her love interest Roddy Llewellyn in the hit Netflix show.
