Tori Spelling has described her newborn daughter as a "miracle."

The former 'Beverly Hills 90210' actress - who gave birth to Stella Doreen earlier this month - says she and husband Dean McDermott managed to conceive while Tori changed her contraceptive pill.

Tori Spelling's beloved dog Mimi LaRue, known for wearing fashionable pink dresses, died Tuesday of natural causes. She was 11 years old.

According to People.com, Mimi LaRue died at home surrounded by her family, including Spelling's husband Dean McDermott, 41, son Liam, 1, and newborn daughter Stella, who is only 10 days old. "I'm devastated," said Spelling. "I'm convinced she waited around to make sure I had the daughter I always dreamt about before she left us."

Tori Spelling and husband Dean McDermott have welcomed their second child Monday in Los Angeles.

The baby, named Stella Doreen McDermott, was delivered via C-section at 3:13 p.m. at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center. She weighs 6 pounds, 8 ounces.

Tori Spelling is to star in the 'Beverly Hills 90210' spin-off. The actress will reprise her role as Donna Martin in the new series, alongside former co-star Jennie Garth who is returning as Kelly Taylor.

She said: "Donna Martin was such a huge part of my life. It's going to be so fun to work with Jennie Garth again and see where Donna is today. When they say you can't go home again, it's not true. I'm headed back to the zip code I know best and couldn't be happier!"

Tori Spelling says husband Dean McDermott has been her "rock" throughout her second pregnancy.

The former 'Beverly Hills 90210' star - who already has a 14-month-old son Liam with Dean - says she wouldn't have coped if Dean wasn't by her side.

Tori Spelling will star in the new 'Beverly Hills 90210' spin-off TV show.

The actress - who played Donna Martin in the hit 90s US teen drama - will have a regular role in the programme which will focus on the new principal of West Beverly High School moving his family of four from Kansas to California.
