It's a big day for Lenny Kravitz, who was honored with his coveted star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, celebrating his decades of influence in music, film, and fashion.
For the special occasion, the 59-year-old entertainer was inducted into the elite group at the ceremony in California on March 12, and two cherished people were present to welcome him in.
Lenny's daughter with ex-wife Lisa Bonet, Zoë Kravitz, and one of the star's closest friends, Denzel Washington, were on hand to give speeches celebrating Lenny.

Zoë, 35, was first up and before taking to the podium, sat hand-in-hand with her reported fiancé Channing Tatum, who proudly watched Lenny's induction and his partner's speech for a rare joint appearance.
"I've had the pleasure of knowing you for a long time," she joked. "And, I must say, being your daughter has been one of the great adventures of my life."

She continued to fire digs at her dad for his penchant for sheer, netted, see-through tees. "According to my dad, if it doesn't expose your nipples, it's not a shirt.

After her last spar left the audience in hysterics (and Lenny exclaimed "wow!" behind her), Zoë added: "You two make each other better. And if it ain't broke, don't fix it. It's a beautiful thing."

Denzel, 69, then came up on stage to sing his close friend's praises, starting off with: "He's more than a friend. He's more than a brother. We're twins, we just don't look alike."

"I love Lenny Kravitz, like I've loved no other brother in my life. Less is more…Leonard Albert Kravitz," the Oscar-winning star concluded, pulling Lenny into a tight hug before walking off stage.

When Lenny finally took the mic, he promptly thanked Zoë and Denzel for their emotional tributes. "Having both of you here, my daughter and my brother, means the world to me."
He thanked all those who had supported him throughout his life and career, including Lisa, saying: "You are such a major part of me finding myself both as an artist and a human being. This star is for you." Lenny ended with: "Thank you all for this, and let love rule."
