Kate Hudson and Kurt Russell are posing for a picture. Steve Granitz took this picture.
Like us, celebrity dads use social media to communicate the best they know how.
Kate Hudson paid homage to her father Kurt Russell on Father's Day.
She wrote, "Fun, adventurous, passionate, determined, honest, devoted, amazing father and the best head of hair in Los Angeles" We're lucky! You Pa, I love you! Father's day is a happy day.
Hudson is estranged from her biological father, a musician named Bill Hudson, as she was raised by her mother and Russell.
Hawn passed along her daughter's message before Russell publicly shared his response in the comments.
I showed this to my dad. Here's his message...
This is a perfect Father's Day present for Birdie. I have never looked at it before. Russell said it was a killer. It is difficult to see the water under the bridge, but thanks for making me the luckiest father in the world. I love you.
A photo of the two stars sharing a kiss was posted on the social media site.
She captioned the photo "How can I explain the gratitude and love I feel for the greatest father who has given us all so much in this life?"
Hudson and her brother, actor Oliver Hudson, were born to Bill Hudson and Hawn during their marriage, but both consider Russell to be their father.
Russell and his wife share a son with the actress. Boston is the child of the actor and Season Hubley.
Hudson gushed about Russell in a Father's Day post last year, calling him a "great loyal protectors" and "our dependable authentic captain".
The star is affected by the estrangement from her father.
I have a wonderful family and a beautiful mother. She spoke about the importance of a dependable father figure in her life in an episode of "Sunday Today with Willie Geist" last year.
It doesn't take away from the fact that we didn't know our dad. People need to know that they are not alone.
Hudson paid homage to her partner Danny Fujikawa on Father's Day by posting a video of him with their daughter Rani.
Hudson has a family of her own. She has two children with her ex- husband, musician Chris Robinson, and one with Muse lead singer Matt Bellamy.
