"We are floating with love and wonder from the safe and healthy arrival of our daughter," the couple said in a joint statement. "But we know we're the lucky ones and not everyone can have a birthing experience as peaceful as ours was."
"Communities around the world are still experiencing a shortage of healthcare workers and every eleven seconds a pregnant woman or newborn dies, mostly from preventable causes," the parents continued. "Since COVID-19, many more newborn lives are at risk because of a greater lack of access to water, soap, vaccines and medicines that prevent diseases. As parents to a newborn, this breaks our hearts, as we empathize with struggling parents now more than ever."
In honor of their daughter, Perry and Bloom set up a donation page. "By supporting UNICEF, you are supporting a safe start to life and reimagining a healthier world for every child," the duo concluded. "We hope your ❤️ can bloom with generosity."
Daisy is Perry's first child and Bloom's second. The Carnival Row actor is also dad to son Flynn, who he shares with ex-wife Miranda Kerr. After hearing about the arrival of Perry and Bloom's daughter, Kerr sent a sweet message to the couple on Instagram. "I'm so happy for you guys," the model commented on Perry's announcement post. "Can't wait to meet her."
Smile is out now.
