That's a relief! Suri Cruise is delighted when she is reunited with her favourite cuddly toy after leaving it in a car

As a child there are few incidents more upsetting than losing your favourite toy.

And that’s exactly what happened to Suri Cruise on Thursday when she left her much loved cuddly giraffe behind in a car in New York.

Thankfully, it wasn’t long before she was reunited with the toy – and the six-year-old daughter of Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes was thrilled to have it back.

Someone passed the stuffed animal out of a car window and straight into Suri’s arms, with the youngster beaming and hugging it close to her chest.

Sporting a cute pink bow in her hair, Suri was joined by her famous mother as well as her maternal grandmother Kathleen.

And Katie and Suri were in matching padded jackets, with mother in blue and daughter in pink.

Katie, 33, leaned down to chat to Suri after she got the giraffe back – perhaps giving her a talking to about being more careful with her belongings.

It’s no surprise Suri was so happy that her fluffy friend wasn’t gone for good, as judging by the wear and tear; it is one of her favourite toys.

In fact she has been spotted toting it about the Big Apple on several occasions.

Later in the day, Kathleen and Katie's father Martin attended the opening night of Katie's Broadway show Dead Accounts.

Katie and Suri have just reunited after spending the Thanksgiving holiday apart.

Suri jetted to the UK to be with father Tom, after not seeing him since July, while Katie returned to her hometown to spend Turkey Day with her family.

Katie spent just a few hours in Toledo, Ohio, but clearly relaxed and was seen walking out onto her parents’ porch barefoot to great her grandmother.
