Pop singer Kylie Minogue is today celebrating her 40th birthday with her family and close friends.
The star is taking a break from her X tour to celebrate the milestone birthday.
Minogue's sister Dannii is expected to join her for a lavish sit-down dinner in Germany today, with her parents Carol and Ron also due to fly in from Australia to spend time with her.
A spokesperson for the singer said: "Kylie will be celebrating her birthday with her family and close friends."
Last week Minogue hosted an early birthday party in Greece, with over 100 people attending the event.
