Rebel Wilson receives 'best birthday present' as she's granted permanent US residency

Rebel Wilson has gushed over the "best birthday present" after she confirmed she is finally a resident of the United States.

The Australian actress turned 42 on Wednesday and admitted she had finally gained permanent residency stateside after living there for over a decade.

After receiving her Green Card, the Pitch Perfect star shared the good news with her 10.5 million Instagram followers.

Showing off her new documentation, Rebel wrote: "Wow. The best birthday present just arrived."

The card showed the star and her full name, Rebel Melanie Eliz Wilson and now allows her to live and work in the United States permanently.

As well as the good news, the Senior Year star decided to jet off to Mexico for a series of luxurious birthday celebrations.

She uploaded a series of posts to social media to showcase her amazing trip, beginning with snaps of her in a blazer and white cap enjoying an array of refreshing drinks.

Rebel, who has lost an incredible 35kg, looked amazing in the outfit which donned the posh hotel's logo on it.

She captioned the post: "'Spending my one and only birthday this year at One and Only Palmilla."

Rebel followed it up by posting a clip of her with her pals taking in an amazing fireworks display.

She wrote: "Biggest birthday surprise with these besties # Cabo Capers," and received an influx of birthday messages in the comments section.

Among those sending well wishes was fashion journalist Laura Brown, who wrote: "Happy birthday Glory."

Ruth Madeley also commented: "Happy Birthday, Queen," while Amy Shark said: "Happy birthday bebe girl."

On her Instagram Stories she shared more clips of the poolside fireworks display while the partygoers wore sombreros and went to work on a pinata.

She also shared a host of other birthday well wishes, including a funny video of her shaking her bum while dancing for the camera.

Last month Rebel was forced to file a restraining order against a man who wrongly claimed the pair shared a 20-year-old son together.

According to a report, the actress' lawyer, Susan Haber, filed for a temporary restraining order in a bid to protect her from the person she says she has never met.

TMZ reported it had obtained legal documents which claimed the man discovered the actress' home address in Los Angeles and told her in a handwritten note that the pair share a 20-year-old son.

The outlet said the docs described how the pair allegedly met in a club in 2001 before getting close. The man is said to have wrote: "We both know what happened thereafter."

Rebel reportedly denied any get together and stressed she has never met the man.
