Jennifer Aniston unveiled her star on Hollywood's Walk of Fame today.

The Wanderlust actress unveiled the tribute on the corner of Hollywood Boulevard and Vine Street, while boyfriend Justin Theroux and her father, Days of our Lives star John Aniston, 78, looked on.

Jennifer's Just Go With It co-star Adam Sandler spoke to the crowd at the unveiling, telling them: "Everyone loves this girl - my wife loves this girl, Justin Theroux loves this girl.

"She prayed for three things. To have everyone in the entire world be fascinated with her haircut, to one day star in a movie about an evil leprechaun who kills people, and most importantly, receive a star on the prestigious Hollywood Walk of Fame. Well today, Jennifer, the trifecta is here."

The 43-year-old former Friends star has previously said she was "extremely flattered, humbled, nervous and excited," to be awarded the star.

She said at a press conference: "It feels very surreal to be honest.

"I was born here and it's sort of something you went and saw as a kid and got excited about just walking and seeing the names. To imagine that you're going to be there is really special. It's fun."

Last July Jennifer's hand and footprints were also immortalised in cement outside Grauman's Chinese Theatre, also in Hollywood.
