Selma Blair has certainly had a turbulent week, with the actress being removed from a flight and hospitalised after she mixed alcohol and prescription drugs.

But things took a positive turn for the Cruel Intentions star on Thursday when she celebrated her 44th birthday with her son by her side.

Sharing a sweet snap of her four-year-old Arthur giving her a kiss, the actress wrote, “‘And so what should I wish?’ And he whispered it in my ear right then. I ask my angel for it to be true every day. And to do the same for others.”

The actress was thrilled to share her 44th birthday with her son Arthur.

She added, “Thank you @wildersatheart for loving us this birthday. Your patience. Your support. We [love] you. And a sincere thank you to all those who sent me the spirit of loving and forgiveness. It is a new birth year. Thank you.”

On Wednesday, the 44-year-old apologised for her bizarre outburst that led to the actress being taken from the airport to hospital on a stretcher.

“I made a big mistake yesterday,” she said in a statement to Vanity Fair.

“After a lovely trip with my son and his Dad, I mixed alcohol with medication, and that caused me to black out and led me to say and do things that I deeply regret.”

Selma went on to apologise to the crew and passengers on board the flight from Cancun to Los Angeles, admitting she’s “human” and sometimes makes “mistakes”.
