Helena Bonham Carter has given birth to her second child with director Tim Burton.

The actress, who was recently nominated for a Golden Globe for her role in Burton's Sweeney Todd, welcomed the new arrival in London on Saturday.

The couple have been dating since they met on set of Planet of the Apes in 2001 and already have a four-year-old son, Billy.

A spokesman for Bonham Carter, 41, told People: "They are absolutely delighted they have a daughter. It's a lovely Christmas present for the family."
