Heavenly Hiraani Tigerlily Hutchence was born to Paula Yates and Michael Hutchence on July 22, 1996.

At the time, Michael described his baby daughter as “just what we ordered”.

Paula chose the name ‘Tigerlily’, her daughter Pixie (from her marriage to Bob Geldof) picked the name ‘Heavenly’ and Michael chose ‘Hiraani’.

Sadly, Tiger lost her mum when she was just four-years-old.

There had been rumours that the INXS frontman was broke at the time of his passing in November 1998, but Michael set a trust fund for his daughter, which is believed to now be in the millions.

While Tiger has lived a relatively private life, she recently tapped into her father’s creative side, posing for photographer Kate Bellm.
