Cameron Douglas’ touching tribute to Kirk at birth of daughter

Cameron Douglas is making sure his grandfather Kirk will always be part of his new-born daughter’s life. 

Cameron’s partner Viviane Thibes gave birth to the couple’s first child on Monday and the pair has picked a name that pays tribute to Kirk.

The happy couple decided on Lua Izzy.

Kirk was actually born Issur Danielovitch and was known as Izzy for a lot of his life.

Cameron shared a snap of Thibes on social media shortly after the birth of little Lua and gushed of how proud he was of her.
