Simon Baker credits his wife and three children with giving him the support he needs to succeed in Hollywood.
So it was only fitting that they should be at The Mentalist star's side as he was awarded a star on the city's prestigious Walk Of Fame on Thursday.
Baker struggled to control his emotions as he was joined by his wife Rebecca Rigg, and their children Stella Breeze, 19, Claude Blue, 13, and 11-year-old Harry Friday at the event.

Looking at his wife Rebecca the star first teared up then started weeping, Sky News Australia reported.
'Kids, this is for you,' he said through tears.
'My cup runneth over.'
The proud trio watched as Baker's long-time friend, and fellow Australian, Naomi Watts presented the honour.

While Naomi is preparing for the biggest night of her career - she is nominated for best actress at next Sunday's Oscars - The Impossible star made sure to be there for her friend.

Whether planned or otherwise, Naomi matched Simon on his big day also wearing grey.

But his family, friends and co-stars were not the only ones who came out to support the good-looking Australian.

His female fans packed the area in the hope the heartthrob would treat them to a Valentine's Day they can remember.
Many of the women clutched roses and pictures of the star, screaming as he arrived.
Speaking to Variety this week about being given a star Simon revealed despite his show attracting almost 11.4 million viewers every week he did not believed he deserved it when first told about the honour.

By my Valentine: Female fans packed the area, many holding roses

He told Variety: 'I felt a little unworthy.'
The Walk Of Fame had always provided him with inspiration, he explained.
'It was inspiring. One of the biggest hurdles in my career was having confidence in myself. I was surrounded by people who had more belief in me than I had in myself.
'You think probably a lot of people (with stars) weren't necessarily confident they could make a career of it, and that encouraged me to think that maybe I could do it.'
