Australia’s bohemian beauty, actor Teresa Palmer, has welcomed her fourth child into the world – a baby girl!

The 35-year-old actor took to Instagram on Friday to announce the safe arrival of her daughter, Prairie Moon Palmer on August 17.

“Introducing our daughter, Prairie Moon Palmer, who was born just as the sun rose on Tuesday morning, 17th August, surrounded by her siblings who are absolutely enamoured with her. A little magic moon for our family 🌙☀️✨ ~ 17•12•12•17,” Teresa captioned her announcement post, which was accompanied with a slew of touching family photos documenting Prairie’s arrival.

In the first shot, little Prairie rests peacefully in a flower crown and a pair of fairy wings. In another, the newborn is surrounded by her four adoring siblings.

Proud dad Mark Webber also celebrated his daughter’s arrival with a touching post.

“My heart has grown 5 times bigger. Welcome to the world my little magic Prairie Moon. 🌕✨✨ ,” the father-of-five mused next to a photo of him holding his newborn baby girl.

Prairie Moon Palmer is Teresa’s fourth child with husband Mark, and she is also a step-mother to Mark’s son, Isaac.

The couple also share sons Bodhi Rain and Forest Sage, and daughter Poet Lake.

In February, the actor announced the news she was expecting again, with a series of photos of her children huddled around her baby bump.

“35 years ago right around now I was born in sunny Adelaide. Today I am thinking of my mother’s transition to motherhood and feel grateful to her for all she has done for me,” penned the star.

“I celebrate her, a healthy full life & the miracle of birth. Reflecting on this surrounded by my darling babies, including our newest little love.”

In an interview with Holidays With Kids, Teresa revealed how she navigates feeling anxious about being the perfect mother.

“We’re all beautifully flawed and as parents in general – but particularly given the current climate – we all need to strip the self-judgement back and let go of any ideals of perfection.

“Riding the ebbs and flows is a part of the parenting journey and as long as we’re showing up and doing the best we can in any given moment, then we are doing great!” she told the publication.

A huge congrats to the family on their beautiful new addition!
