Beyonce's twins now in the clear after hospital stay

Beyonce's twins are "doing just fine" and have now been taken home from the hospital.

The 35-year-old singer gave birth earlier this month and her former Destiny's Child bandmate LeToya Luckett has been told by Beyonce's mother Tina Knowles that the twins are both fit and healthy.

LeToya explained: "I did run into Ms. Tina and she says they are doing just fine."

And while she has yet to come face-to-face with the twins, LeToya told Entertainment Tonight that she expects they have the "cutest, chubbiest cheeks".

Beyonce and her 47-year-old husband Jay Z twin boy and girl were born prematurely and had to be placed under lights, reportedly because they were suffering from jaundice - a liver condition where too much bilirubin is produced, causing a yellowing of the skin - and so had to stay longer in UCLA Medical Center.

However, according to TMZ, the couple were told they could take their babies home, and the family - including five-year-old daughter Blue Ivy - are now staying at a lavish $400,000-a-month rental home in Malibu.

The stunning estate is situated on over six acres of grounds and the family plan to spend their summer at the estate while they continue to search for a permanent home in Los Angeles.

Beyonce and Jay Z have remained tight-lipped about the arrival of their twins.

Beyonce's mother Tina Knowles hasn't been able to contain her excitement either.

Speaking prior to the birth, Tina admitted: "I'm so excited. I can't wait."

The fashion designer also praised her daughter's parenting skills.

She said: "[Beyoncé and Jay-Z are] incredible parents. She's a really good mum. Really patient and kind.

"[My biggest lesson was] teaching them that what is on the inside counts more than what's on the outside. I see her passing it on, and it makes me really proud because that was my biggest lesson."
