Actress, singer Hilary Duff celebrates Independence Day

US: After welcoming a healthy baby boy into the world in March Hilary Duff has a lot to smile about.

The doting mother was spotted on July 4 in Studio City, Los Angeles as she made her way to a barbeque in celebration of Independence Day with her husband Mike Comrie.

Hilary and Mike were seen laughing and smiling as they walked hand in hand.

Embracing the sunshine, the 24-year-old actress stepped out in a yellow loose fitting long sleeve top.

She teamed the bright top with dark denim skinny jeans which showed off signs that the new mother has managed to shift some more baby weight.

Opting for comfort she had on a pair of grey espadrilles and tied her blonde hair up in a bun.

Looking forward to the Independence Day party and some time off from motherhood she was quick to take to her Twitter and wish the whole of America well.

Her tweet read: 'HAPPY 4Th OF JULY AMERICA!!! What a wonderful country we live in # 1 freedom'.
