There's no bond quite like the one between mother and daughter. A fact Reese Witherspoon and Ava Phillippe have time and again proved - now with an inspired message from mum to daughter.

19-year-old Ava Phillippe took to Instagram last night to share a heartwarming Instagram post dedicated to her Legally Blonde superstar of a mum, Reese Witherspoon.

“This is the gorgeous woman who taught me about the power of graciousness, love, ambition, and hard work,” Phillippe wrote, captioning a seemingly candid photo of Witherspoon adjusting a pair of pearl earrings in front of a gorgeous floral wallpaper backdrop.

“She inspires me everyday to live with gratitude for the life I’ve been given and compassion for others. I’m thinking about her a little extra today, that’s all,” she went on to say.

When one of the teen’s friends chimed in calling Reese a “gorgeous lady,” in a comment, Phillippe continued her praise, writing, “Right??” Witherspoon later commented, “How did I get so lucky to have a daughter like you?”

Phillippe’s Instagram is full of tributes to Witherspoon, with another recent photo showing the mother-daughter pair at the Season 2 premiere of the Witherspoon-starring “Big Little Lies.”

“Big Little Date Night Congrats to every member of #BLL2 crew!” Phillippe wrote. “So especially proud of my mama and her passion for this story and her work. After seeing just the first episode, I honestly cannot wait to see more!”

This proves there is certainly something special about a mother-daughter bond.
