Indigo Packer celebrates her first birthday - News Limited - 28th July 2009

She may be a billionaire baby but it seems little Indigo Packer, who turned one yesterday, delights in the same simple pleasures as any tot.

Yesterday, the only daughter of casino tycoon James Packer and his model wife Erica received a stream of presents delivered to the family's penthouse apartment at Sydney's Bondi Beach.

While the birthday girl kept a low profile, her father popped out in his new set of wheels, an expensive white Bentley, only to discover on arriving home that many of his pals had been showering his daughter with gifts.

Even the dog walker, who turned up for the family's retriever, had a gift.

It's amazing how many friends will line up to pay their respects when daddy's a billionaire.

Missing from the parade of well wishers was Katie Holmes, wife of Packer's great mate Tom Cruise.

Holmes was on the Mt Macedon set of her film Don't Be Afraid of the Dark, shooting scenes with her co-star Guy Pearce.

Cruise is yet to return to Melbourne from the US.

It remains to be seen whether Holmes and her daughter Suri, 3, will catch up with the Packers on Sunday when she has a break. No doubt, though, a sizeable gift has been despatched.

Holmes is, after all, staying at Packer's palatial penthouse at Crown while in Melbourne. (Credit: News Limited)
