The actress wears a fuchsia and white V-neck top, while her daughter opts for a black tank top.
Mom Danniella shared a lavish tribute to her daughter in the post.
She began the caption with, “We’re the same in our (heart emoji).”
Danniella continued, “Wayward, sensitive ways… We have romantic, magical, gypsy-style souls.
“In a way, I’m glad I made the mistakes I made. Because of the pain and bad choices and wrong turns I have had to endure, I see a larger, deeper level of life adventure ahead of her.
“And without her ever seeing a flicker of flame, I’ll make sure no one blocks her path. She was born to shine.”
The exuberant mum ended the tribute: “I love you sweetie. Have a fabulous Friday. Dear mom xxx.”
The TV star has two children, Kai, 26, and Jodie, who she shares with ex-partner Kevin Jenkins.
Last month, the mother-of-two shared throwback pictures of her two children, describing them as “my world.”
She shared the throwback pictures of her with a big smile on her face as she individually stood next to each of her children.
Danniella accompanied her son’s throwback snap with the caption, “One half of my world.”
And she captioned her later post with her daughter: “The other half of my world.”
Since her divorce from her children’s father in 2020, Danniella has met a new man who she says “keeps her young.”

The actress recently told the Daily Star about her engagement to boyfriend David, 28, who is currently in prison.
She said: “I’m just having a good time, I’m being led by young people – my kids, my friends. You keep me nervous.
“David is young and he’s 28 and will be 29. David will be 30 when I’m 50.
“But I’m like the Barbara Windsor with Scott, she had a boy. Vanessa Feltz and Ben – they all have young other halves.
“Everyone has toy boys. I’m living the dream, they keep me young.”
