Outside of the lavish festivities, Selena took a moment to be open and honest with her friends, sharing that her twenties were "good, hard and beautiful".

Along with the poignant paragraph, the Only Murders In The Building actress shared two beautiful black-and-white portraits, one where she is in peals of laughter, and another where she can be seen smising.

Along with the stunning photos, she wrote: "Have had a moment to catch up. Though there are so many words to say I’ll simply leave it at this. My twenties were a journey through good, hard and beautiful moments that I will never forget."

Selena shared her words of wisdom with her fanbase, commenting on how she is ever-changing and ever-learning: "Each of them has shaped me into the person that I am today. I am someone who is still learning, but is more certain about what matters and what she wants.

"I want to try my best to take the beautiful and the painful one day at a time and let it all make me into the very best me that I can be for myself/others/you," she poignantly continued.

The 'Rare' songstress – who has confirmed she's back in the studio for her fourth album – thanked her fans and loved ones for kicking off her thirties in a beautiful way.
