Thirty years after he became a household name as Kevin McCallister in "Home Alone," Macaulay Culkin's stardom has been cemented in Hollywood.
"The Righteous Gemstones" actor on Friday was honored with the 2,765th star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame as he was joined by his family and friends such as Catherine O'Hara – who played Culkin's mom in the beloved holiday film – and Natasha Lyonne.
Fiancée Brenda Song and the couple's two sons celebrated the achievement, too, with Song appearing to get emotional at one point. During the ceremony, O'Hara and Lyonne were among the guests who spoke about the 43-year-old's long career in Hollywood.

During his speech, Culkin thanked those who helped his career before addressing his family in the audience.
"I'd like to thank Brenda. You are absolutely everything," he said. " You're my champion. You're the only person happier for me today than I am. You're not only the best woman I've ever known, you're the best person I've ever known."
He went on, "You give me purpose. You give me family. And after the birth of our two boys, you've become one of my three favorite people."
"You're somewhere in there," he added as the crowd laughed.

"In the spirit of the holiday season, I just want to say: Merry Christmas, ya filthy animals," he exclaimed after thanking the people who helped him over the years.
