Birthday tributes to Oprah Winfrey

Away from the Anastasia Beverly Hills event, celebrities were sharing birthday messages for Winfrey.

“There’s no brighter light than today’s birthday goddess, Oprah. Thank you for all that you do. Sending you so much love today,” Scandal actress Kerry Washington wrote.

Television presenter Gayle King, who has been a friend of Winfrey’s for decades, wrote: “It’s a big day for all of us who love Oprah! Happy everything to the girl who lives her best life every day & does what she can to help everybody else do the same.”

Actress Viola Davis also posted a message for Winfrey.

“Happiest of birthdays to our national treasure, this icon, beauty … Oprah! Love ya Sis,” Davis wrote️, with a love heart emoji.

Winfrey shared her thoughts on ageing on social media.

“As I turn 69, I choose not to focus on the number. For me, the number has always just been a marker,” she said.

“However you feel about your birthday, consider this: Take age out of the equation, think about how you feel inside your body and reflect on how far you’ve come over the past 365 days.

“I choose to celebrate the time I’ve spent living, taking note of all the shifts, the wins, the accomplishments, how much I’ve grown over the past year and I look forward to all that is to come.”
