"I am so lucky to have this brilliant soul by my side who knows me, missteps and all, and still chooses to love me. Every. Single. Day," she wrote.

"Happy Sisters Day. Both those born to you, and those you have chosen along the way! I love you Gigi," she added.

The Hollywood star also included a quote from Alice Hoffman’s The Book of Magic, writing, “When you have a sister, someone who knows the story of who you were and who you will always be, there is no deeper tie, no stronger bond.”

"Our age difference made it impossible to be chummy when we were younger. I was a pest, an annoyance of a younger sister. No girl in her tender years, navigating through the trials of puberty wants her annoying geek of a little sister hanging about ... It wasn't until I got older that the age gap disintegrated. Once I was in high school, we became genuinely close," she said.
