Sami’s father is actor Charlie Sheen, who Richards divorced in 2006.

Richards captioned the post, “Can’t believe my beautiful baby girl is 17!!!!

Time flies by so fast, so amazed the beautiful young woman you’ve become.”

Denise Richards smiling

I cherish those precious moments.

I love you so much Sami girl.

I’m so proud of you.

Sami Sheen

You’re beyond beautiful inside and out and so compassionate.

I love you my Sami.

Richards and Sheen have a younger daughter together as well named Lola, who is 15.

The 50-year-old actress also adopted a daughter, Eloise, the outlet notes.

How do you tell kids what’s really going on?

I would say, ‘Dad had to go to work, but he loves you so much.

He wants to be here for you girls.'"

As years passed, the two found a way to coparent and trust each other again.

The actress toldPeoplelast year that she “was never bitter about my divorce.

Going through everything, it changed me.

But I love life and I’m a glass-half-full kind of person.

And I did my best to rise above it.”
