tonight addressed to “the Daily Mail and other publications,” asking for restraint in photos and other mentions of his offspring.
“Having just seen photos of Billie Lourd’s 1 year-old baby in your publication, and the fact that you subsequently took those pictures down, we would request that you refrain from putting our children’s faces in your publication.
