Louis Tomlinson cosies up to sisters in rare snap for family birthday

It was a family affair for the Tomlinson clan on Sunday as they gathered together to celebrate eldest sister Lottie's son's first birthday.

Coming together for the big day, One Direction star Louis, 31, cosied up to his siblings - twin sisters Daisy and Phoebe, 19, and influencer Lottie, 24 to take a selfie.

The foursome appeared happier than ever to be together, with the singer wrapping his arms around the girls.

Taking to her Instagram, Daisy shared the sweet family snaps, alongside another of Louis with just Daisy and Phoebe.

Daisy also shared a behind-the-scenes look at the party, with a lavish grazing table, bottles of wine and a Lucky-dedicated decorative sign.

Lottie welcomed her first child, Lucky in August last year with partner Lewis Burton.

Meanwhile, sister Phoebe announced she was expecting her first child - a baby girl- with footballer boyfriend Jack Varley in June this year.

Phoebe's pregnancy has seen her follow in her elder siblings' footsteps, as Louis shares seven-year-old son Freddie with ex Briana Jungwirth.

The Tomlinson family are closer than ever, having faced a number of heartbreaking tragedies over the years. 

The family lost their mother Johannah Deakin in December 2016 aged 43, following a battle with leukaemia.

In March 2019, the family suffered further devastation when sister Félicité Tomlinson died accidentally, aged just 18, from an overdose of cocaine, anxiety drug Xanax and painkillers.

As well as Louis and his sisters, Johannah was mother to twins Ernest and Doris, who were aged just two when she passed away. 

She was also grandmother to Louis' son Freddie, now four.

The statement released to MailOnline following Johannah's death read: 'It is with immeasurable sadness that Johannah Deakin's family said goodbye to Johannah in the early hours of Wednesday 7th December 2016.

'Earlier this year Johannah was diagnosed with a very aggressive form of leukaemia that required immediate and continuous treatment. 

'We respectfully request that the family are given time and space to grieve in private.'

Two years later Félicité was found collapsed and lifeless at her fourth-floor studio apartment in Earls Court, west London.

Coroner Dr Shirley Radcliffe said at an inquest afterwards: 'It was a perfect storm, the OxyCodone, the alpraxolam [Xanax] and cocaine. 

'I find no evidence this was a deliberate act to end her life.'

After hearing she had turned to drugs following the tragic death of her mother, the coroner recorded a misadventure verdict.

Louis previously told how he became a pillar of support for his younger siblings following the deaths of his mother and sister.

He told The Telegraph Magazine: 'Without being too soppy, I like looking after people, it's cool', revealing that since the death of his mother he has been paying for Daisy and Phoebe to attend an 'expensive' private school outside Doncaster.

Louis also said he was trying convince his younger sisters to stay on at school, which he confessed is a difficult feat considering their 'elitist' upbringing which largely differs from the childhood he and sister Lottie, 23, remember.

The former One Direction star went on to discuss how the tragic loss of his mum helped him to understand how to communicate with his siblings better when his younger sister died.

He revealed: 'Both [deaths] felt very individual, and hit me with a big impact... but I think dealing with the family, how I can be there for them, that was a lot easier the second time because the first time I was grieving and I didn't know what to say.' 

Last year Lottie reflected on the 'scary' period after her mother's death where she struggled to find mental health support for herself and her then-12-year-old sisters, Daisy and Phoebe.

She was just 18 when she lost her mum and three years later her sister Félicité died from an accidental overdose.

In an exclusive interview with MailOnline, she confessed it's 'shocking' that medical professionals didn't offered the family any counselling since they had spent so much time visiting the hospital in which her parent was being treated.

She said: 'We were offered nothing. I think it was shocking because my first loss was a very medical thing. My mum had cancer so we were in and out of hospital'.

'We were around medical professionals a lot so to not really be offered the help was quite shocking, really, looking back. But at the time, it just felt quite normal.'
