Heidi Klum gushes over daughter in sweet birthday message amid furious photo backlash

Heidi Klum isn't letting trolls get in the way of her sharing quality time with her teen daughter - especially not when it comes to celebrating her birthday.

The mum-and-daughter duo have been heavily criticised for a lingerie shoot they posed for together, but Heidi took to Instagram to continue to share snaps of the pair.

The latest upload sees the close duo pouting at the camera in a snap to mark daughter Leni's 19th birthday.

They both look to be having a great time as they sip on beverages out of a plastic beaker while puckering up for the camera.

Model Heidi captioned the post: "Happy 19th Birthday @leniklum," and followed her comment with a strong of red heart emojis.

As with the previous posts - and in fact all of her social media posts to Instagram - the comments were turned off to stop rogue trolls sending vile messages.

It's clear the former Victoria's Secret Angel isn't prepared to stop sharing snaps together, though, despite what some people think.

The latest upload comes just days after Heidi was criticised yet again for uploading images of the pair in racy neglige.

She shared an Instagram post with her fans after previously receiving a huge backlash for similar uploads of herself posing in lingerie next to her then-18-year-old daughter.

The photos in question saw the duo in front of the camera for their latest Intimissimi campaign.

In the pictures, the mother-daughter duo looked stunning as they showed off their toned figures while wearing lacy lingerie, but some people weren't happy.

Captioning the post, Heidi wrote: "Yiiiipppppiiiiiiii our new @intimissimiofficial campaign is here. You can discover #theartofitalianlingerie online and in all Intimissimi stores.

"If you see me and @leniklum on billboards all over Germany … tag us and we'll share our favorites on our stories!"

While fans couldn't vent their displeasure on the America's Got Talent judge's post, they made sure they fumed on Leni's similar upload.

One user ranted: "I would not be proud to show my daughter off in this way. I would feel embarrassed and sad," while another added: "It just looks weird."
