Courtney Cox Arquette has warned that those who publish photos of her daughter's christening will face legal action.

The christening ceremony of ten-month-old Coco took place earlier this month in Birmingham, Alabama at which Courtney's former Friends co-star Jennifer Aniston was named godmother.

A statement from her and husband David ran: "Although we are public figures, we do have a right to privacy. The photos from our daughter's christening are being distributed without our consent.

"Anyone publishing these photos will be in copyright infringement and liable to legal action. We appreciate your sensitivity to this matter."

The New York Daily News claims that it received a set of photographs of the event from somebody claiming to be Aniston, though her representatives deny that the actress was involved.
