Looks like Heather Locklear and Richie Sambora’s daughter Ava Sambora is all grown up. The young blonde looked resplendent at the Four Seasons Hotel in Los Angeles on Friday, October 4, when she threw a lavish birthday party for her Sweet 16 birthday.

Ava wore a low cut figure hugging white dress highlighting her slender arms and neckline. Heather planted a beautiful kiss on Ava’s cheeks while the proud daddy hugged his daughter.

All three appeared in excellent spirits and were beaming gorgeous smiles throughout the event.

Ava Sambora’s celebrity parents divorced amicably in 2007 and remain good friends while raising their beautiful daughter, who is now an aspiring actress.

Ava has already scored two roles so far, one in 2012, where she debuted as Wendy in Judd Apatow’s comedy This is 40, and the other in 2013 as “future Charlie” in Good Luck Charlie TV Series.

“It was an amazing experience…everyone was so welcoming…Ever since I was five or six, I’ve wanted to be an actress…I loved attention and would always try to be onstage and in front of people. It was easy to figure out what I wanted to be…I really only get nervous in front of my family and friends, because I want to impress them…I’m very on top of it with people I don’t know,” said Ava, as she shared her experiences on the sets of Knocked Up sequel with Teen Vogue magazine.

“We’re very good. It’s actually even beyond for [our daughter’s] sake…We go out all the time…Heather and I really respect each other, and we’ve become better friends, I think, now that we’re not married,” said Richie Sambora, the famous songwriter and lead guitarist of rock band Bon Jovi.

Heather returned the compliments, “He is really someone who is compatible with you, and hangs in there during tough times…and good times.”

We wish the doting parents and their beautiful daughter the very best in coming years, and hope to see Ava share her talent and beautiful DNA on screen for her legions of fans.

For those of you who want to marry the young blonde, you will have to wait two more years, as the age of consent is 18 in many states.
