Jennifer Lopez has been awarded a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

The 43-year-old 'Live It Up' singer received the accolade today (June 20) for her contribution to the music industry.

Lopez's honour was the 2,500th star to be placed on the world-famous Walk of Fame.

"I really am overwhelmed," she said at the ceremony. "This all feels, I don't know, kind of surreal, but so real. It's awesome.

"This landmark moment inspires me to work harder and dream bigger for all that is the future. I hope you feel as I do that it was all worth it, and I hope that I have touched your hearts even in a small way."
