They said: “Kim brought North and 12 friends into the store on Saturday afternoon. They were excited to be there and enjoyed ice cream sundaes. Kim was super gracious to the team for creating a fun celebratory experience.”

Doting grandmother Kris Jenner also paid tribute to her granddaughter online. She wrote: “Happy Birthday to my beautiful Granddaughter, North! Watching you grow into the amazing, talented, creative young girl you are has been one of the greatest joys of my life.

“Your confidence is inspiring and it always amazes me how much energy, excitement and love you put into everything you do, whether it’s your singing, dancing, writing, amazing music producing, your love for fashion… everything you do you put your all into it.

“You are truly spectacular and one of a kind!! I’m so proud of your Lion King performance at the Hollywood Bowl. You are a superstar, Northie. I just can’t believe how fast you’re growing up and how creative you are and you’re reaching for the stars and following your dreams. Never stop dreaming big and shining bright. I love you soooo much! Love, Lovey.”
