“We are proud to announce the birth of our daughter, Olive Barrymore Kopelman, born September 26th, healthy, happy and welcomed by the whole family. Thank you for respecting our privacy during this most special time in our lives,” Barrymore said.

The “Charlie’s Angels” actress, 37, wed art dealer Kopelman in a Jewish ceremony at their estate in Montecito, Southern California in June.

The former child star of “E.T.: The Extra-Terrestrial,” who has since forged a career in romantic comedies such as “Never Been Kissed” and “He’s Just Not That Into You,” was last seen in whale movie “Big Miracle,” released earlier this year.
