Melissa McCarthy's daughter makes rare appearance at Little Mermaid premiere

The 13-year-old joined her famous parents last night

Melissa McCarthy’s rarely-seen daughter accompanied her famous parents to the premier of The Little Mermaid on Monday (8 May).

Thirteen-year-old Georgette attended the event alongside McCarthy and dad Ben Falcone, wearing a long, black ruffled dress with a corset-style belt around her waist.

The 52-year-old star, who plays evil sea witch Ursula in the movie, was supported by her family during the premier at Hollywood's Dolby Theatre.

McCarthy, who is also mom to 16-year-old daughter Vivian, recently opened up to People magazine about raising teens.

Speaking about how she and her husband monitor their social media use, she explained: "We keep track of it. I think it is still something to be really, really watched.

"I'm sure I don't do half as good a job as I should because I'm so bad with it."

She added: “We're always kind of reminding them, 'Keep this in perspective. This is not real'.

"I keep saying this is smoke and mirrors and entertainment, which is fine. I've said, 'It's as if somebody takes a character I've played and assumes that's the real me.' But that's an ongoing fistfight that concerns me all the time."

She also revealed that she dreads the day her girls fly the nest.

When asked if she thinks about the day they’ll move out, she joked: "Nope, because it's never going to happen.”

McCarthy went on: "One of my daughters was talking about maybe going to school in Scotland. And literally Ben's like 'Your lip's twitching.'

"Then she did walk past me the next day and she was like, 'Mama, no. You're looking up apartments in Scotland.' And I was like, 'I can get an apartment in Scotland. You can't legally stop me.'"

Last month, McCarthy announced that she was down to a Bridesmaids sequel immediately.

"I would do a Bridesmaids sequel this afternoon, right now," she said. “That group of women was the most magical thing ever.

"Almost all of us were really good friends already."

She added: "I think it was such a magical time."

The comic also revealed which scene from the 2011 hit film was her favorite.

And, shocker.

It's the same one as everyone else - the wedding dress/food poisoning scene.

"Just being around that many funny people was truly like people dropping to the ground because we couldn't get air in," she told People.

She added: "You can't be around that group of humans and not just be beside yourself."
