Home Alone actor Macaulay Culkin has been awarded a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, the 2,765th since the Walk of Fame's founding in 1961.

Natasha Lyonné, Culkin's co-star in the 2003 biographical crime drama Party Monster, and Catherine O'Hara, who portrayed the mother of Culkin's character in Home Alone and its 1992 sequel, Home Alone 2: Lost in New York, as well as his wife, Brenda Song, were among those who joined Culkin at the ceremony.

It was an emotional day for the actor. "Thanks for all your kind words and your stories and stuff," he said.

Adding: "You know, you made my kids' dad, their papa, look good. And the most important thing to me is also that their papa understands that he wasn't always papa. He used to be a kid too?"

Where are the Home Alone stars today, and what else have they worked on since?
