Kate Beckinsale’s love for her mother and daughter is permanent — literally!
TheGuilty Partyactress, 49, on Wednesday shared a photo of two tattoos she has on her arm, both of the word “mama.”
Her seemingly new ink is a tribute to her mother, English actress Judy Loe, 75. It’s also to honor Beckinsale’s daughter,Lily Sheen, 23, whom she shares with exMichael Sheen.
In fact, both versions of the word appear to be in different handwriting, suggesting mother and daughter might have written them.
“The two I’ll kill and die for,” Beckinsale wrote alongside an image of the uppercase and lowercase words, on underside of her forearm.
A second photo in Beckinsale’s post featured Loe embracing her granddaughter.

Lily, in turn, has shown her love for her supportive parents. The young actressspoke with PEOPLEabout filmingMassive Talentin April, saying her own experiences growing up with parents in the spotlight contrasts the movie’s storyline.
“Of course there are definitely similarities, obviously. But I think what really opened the character up for me, as an actor, was to start noting the differences,” she explained. “Seeing what would my life be like if my parents hadn’t been this way, if they hadn’t been as loving and supportive of me, and of the person that I wanted to be.”

Though she’s been connected to Hollywood her entire life, Lily said that as a “stubborn” kid she “wanted to shirk the expectation that I could end up in film.” However, she said she “wanted to act from a young age, for sure; it just took me a second to get there.”
The actress went on to joke that her mom, whom she said she’s “really close” with, “definitely would’ve preferred I became a surgeon, but I don’t think that was on the cards — you wouldn’t want me to be doing any surgeries. And I think she knows that!”
“I’m not calling her up and saying, ‘Now, I’ve got a pearl of wisdom, get ready!’ " Beckinsale told the outlet, noting that she only gives Lily advice if she asks for it. “It’s been very important to me to be very independent in that respect.”
