The Golden Globe winner’s friends and family all kept their distance as they celebrated together, following the recommended CDC guidelines of staying six feet apart from each other amid the coronavirus outbreak. Before her socially distant birthday bash, the Fool’s Gold star received a special shout-out from her mom, Goldie Hawn.

“Happy birthday to my only daughter @katehudson 🎂🎁!!!” Hawn, 74, wrote via Instagram alongside a candid photo of her daughter. “I love you deeply and can’t imagine my life without you. You entered this world wide eyed and ready to roll. And look at you now! I’m so proud! ❤️❤️❤️.”
