Beyoncé has thanked her fans for their birthday wishes.

The Crazy in Love hitmaker took to Instagram on Friday, two days after celebrating her 43rd birthday on 4 September.

"I'm so grateful for another year," Beyoncé wrote in a new post. "Thank you for the loving birthday wishes."

As part of her post, the Texas Hold 'Em hitmaker shared a series of photos of her celebrating her birthday in a tropical location.

The snaps included photos of her posing in front of a picturesque backdrop with balloons, as well as photos of her lounging on a sofa with her husband of 16 years, Jay-Z.

Several stars took to the comments section of the post to wish the singer a happy birthday.

Canadian model Winnie Harlow wrote, "Happy birthday (red heart emoji)," while singer Lay Bankz left several heart emojis.

In a separate post, Beyoncé shared a carousel of photos showing her and her music mogul husband swimming in the ocean while smoking cigars and drinking glasses of whisky from her new brand SirDavis.

Beyoncé announced the brand with Moët Hennessy in August and it hit shelves earlier this week. The line is named after her great-grandfather Davis, while she also has a son named Sir.

Beyoncé and Jay-Z have two other children - Blue Ivy, 12, and Sir's twin sister Rumi, seven.
