The Crazy in Love singer delivered a daughter at New York's Lenox Hill Hospital on Saturday night (07Jan12) via a scheduled Caesarean section.

Beyonce's sister Solange Knowles has also taken to the microblogging site to gush about her new niece, declaring her to be "the most beautiful girl in the world."

Actor/singer Tyrese Gibson wrote, "Congrats to you both... You are loved...! Beyonce and Jay are new proud parents of a healthy baby girl... Blessings!!"
