“Terminator” star Arnold Schwarzenegger shared a touching tribute on social media to celebrate his daughter, Christina Schwarzenegger’s, birthday.

“Schpatzl, you have the biggest heart and the sharpest mind. Happy birthday!” he wrote on Instagram alongside two photos.

“When I think about the best moments of my life, you sleeping on my chest beats every movie premiere, every fundraiser, every contest. I’m so proud of you and I love you,” he added.

Christina, who is celebrating her 28th birthday, responded in the comments.

“Love you pappa,” she wrote, along with five heart emojis.

Christina Schwarzenegger’s mother, Maria Shriver, also shared a touching tribute in honor of her daughter’s birthday.

“Today is this beautiful girl’s birthday!” she wrote on Instagram.

“@christinaschwarzenegger was born 28 years ago today, and the world has never been the same. She’s loving, caring, smart, thoughtful, authentic, artistic, creative, and wise. She’s one hell of a writer, and an original thru and thru. My hope for her is that on this day she believes all that I just wrote about her and more!” she added.

Older sister Katherine Pratt (née Schwarzenegger), also wished Christina Schwarzenegger a happy birthday.

“Happy happy birthday sissy! I love you so much and hope you feel loved and celebrated all day long! This will be your best year yet! Angews loves his aunti and i love you more!” she wrote on Instagram, alongside a series of photos of the two of them.

Early Years and Career

Born on July 23, 1991 in Los Angeles, Calif., Christina Schwarzenegger is a producer known for her Netflix documentary “Take Your Pills.”

She worked with her mother, Maria Shriver, on the documentary, which delves into major issues surrounding Adderall, America’s No. 1 drug.

A prescription stimulant, Adderall is used to treat attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and narcolepsy, according to the FDA.
Christina Schwarzenegger struggled with an adderall addiction after taking it from a young age, according to TheFamousPeople.

After choosing to stop taking the drug, it took several challenging months for her to completely return to what she was like before the addiction, according to the site.

However, once she overcame her addiction, her creative side returned, according to the site.
