Here's something to say "Cheers" to!

Kelsey Grammer and wife Kayte welcomed a healthy baby girl named Faith Evangeline Elisa Grammer early Friday morning in Los Angeles.

The bundle of joy arrived at 1 a.m. and weighed 6 pounds, 2 ounces.

"We are thrilled," the proud parents said in a statement. "Mother and child are in excellent health. We were ecstatic earlier this year when we announced that Kayte was carrying twins. Tragically we lost the little boy shortly thereafter. This was not something we cared to make known publicly at the time. It was unspeakably painful and we know that people will understand our desire to keep the news private then, as we know they will respect our privacy in this matter now.

"A glorious birth with a lingering sadness is ours today. We choose to celebrate the life that has been given to us. We proudly introduce our Faith to the world today looking forward to the days ahead and the children yet to come."

This is the first child for the couple who tied the knot in February of 2011. They renewed their vows just last month in Las Vegas.

Congrats!
