The milestone moment was a family affair, with Pia's eldest son Isaiah, 22, also in attendance, as well as Pia's Hollywood agent husband Patrick Whitesell, 60.
Notably present at the event was Patrick's son Evan, 19, whom he shares with ex-wife Lauren Sanchez.

'Best day ever! Congratulations sweetheart,' Pia captioned the happy post, showing the family with big smiles on their faces.
The Home and Away star looked stunning in a floor-length white dress emblazoned with large sunflowers paired with a white blazer.
Her son Lennox, whom she shares with AFL footballer Brad Miller, was suited up in his graduation robe and hat, repping the class of 2025.
Last year, Pia took to social media to share her joy that Lennox had been drafted into a competitive US college football team.
Lennox posted a precious photo to Instagram which captured him posing up a storm with some NFL talent scouts at UCLA in Los Angeles, California.
The youngster could not wipe the smile off his face as he posed with the UCLA Bruins football coach and two of its players.
'Grateful & humbled to receive an offer from @uclafootball #gobruins.'
Pia quickly took to the comment section to congratulate her son on the milestone achievement.
'ALL you Lenny! So incredibly proud!' Pia wrote, adding a love heart emoji.
Meanwhile, Nova radio star Lauren Phillips added: 'Wooohooo!!! Congratulations Lenny, you legend.'
Pia's two sons moved to the US with the soap star after she tied the knot with multimillionaire Patrick.
Patrick is a businessman and executive chairman of Endeavor, an entertainment and media agency in the US.
The family have fully immersed themselves in American way of life, with Lennox playing American football and Isaiah attending college.
Pia and Patrick were secretly wed in 2021, prompting Pia to move from her home in Australia to Patrick's mansion in Los Angeles.

Tesla Diner visitors SLAM the food at Elon Musk's Hollywood fast food joint – as one furious customer reveals the dismal reality of the $12 'Epic Bacon'
It opened last week to huge fanfare. But Elon Musk 's new Tesla Diner already appears to experiencing issues with the quality of its food. The diner, in Hollywood, has over 250 seats for dining, with dishes on offer ranging from $7 cinnamon rolls to $10 salads. However, the dish that has really got people talking is the 'Epic Bacon'. Priced at $12, the Epic Bacon contains four strips of maple glazed black pepper bacon, served with a choice of dip. A picture posted on Tesla's website shows a white cup containing four thick and crispsy rashers, coated with large chunks of pepper. But the reality is decidedly less impressive, according to one attendee. Journalist Miles Klee posted a picture of the Epic Bacon on X, writing: 'went today and here's how it actually looks.' A picture posted on Tesla's website shows a white cup containing four thick and crispsy rashers, coated with large chunks of pepper. But the reality is decidedly less impressive, according to one attendee In the picture, which has been viewed over six million times on X, only one rasher can be seen peeking out the top of the container. 'i mean quality of the meat and cooking aside, if you want to serve bacon like fries you might at least get the right size container,' Mr Klee wrote. The journalist went into further detail on his experience in an article for Rolling Stone. 'It was chewy, not crunchy — despite being partly charred — with a sickly–sweet maple glaze,' he said. 'A properly sized carton may help with presentation, but charging $12 for four slices of this will never be justifiable.' The bacon wasn't the only item that Mr Klee had issues with. His $13.50 burger was missing half of its bottom bun, while the patty itself was 'fairly scorched throughout.' Several users have taken to X to discuss the image of the bacon. One user replied with a photo of the Epic Bacon they were served at the Tesla Diner – and it looks much more like the dish advertised on the menu '$3/bacon strip is wild,' one user replied to Mr Klee. Another added: '$12 bacon??? sounds horribly over priced.' And one joked: 'Unless that bacon is dipped in chocolate and sprinkled with sea salt? I'm not paying $3 a slice. That's robbery.' However, not everyone was on the same page. One user replied with a photo of the Epic Bacon they were served at the Tesla Diner – and it looks much more like the dish advertised on the menu. 'Unfortunate, this is what mine looked like...' they wrote. 'i enjoyed it. nice and crispy but not dry, i was a fan of the sweetness coming from the real maple syrup. it arrived only mildly warm though and they could probably do with a slightly thicker cut. overall i'd give it a light 8,' they added. The Tesla Diner's menu is split into six sections – breakfast, burgers & sandwiches, kids' menu, sides, desserts, and beverages. Breakfast options include a $12 Egg Sandwich, $11 Breakfast Tacos, or $15 Biscuits and Red Gravy, while the Burgers & Sandwiches include a $13.50 Tesla Burger, a $14 Tuna Melt, and a $13 Hot Dog. Kids can choose between a Grilled Cheese ($9), a Kids Burger ($13), or Chicken Tenders Combo ($13) – all of which are served in an adorable CyberTruck box. 'Located in Hollywood, California, Tesla Diner is a Supercharging station, classic American diner and drive–in experience all wrapped up into one,' Tesla explained. 'With retro–futuristic design influences, this location offers Tesla and non–Tesla drivers alike with charging access along the historic Route 66 highway.'

Shedeur Sanders gets huge boost as rival Cleveland Browns QB Kenny Pickett injures with hamstring
Cleveland Browns quarterback Kenny Pickett will be sidelined because of a hamstring injury - potentially opening the door for Shedeur Sanders to stake his claim. The injury to Pickett is believed to have occurred during a red zone 11-on-11 drill late in Saturday's practice, multiple reports have suggested. Coach Kevin Stefanski is expected to address Pickett's status before Monday's practice. Pickett, 27, will be evaluated later in the week. The Browns have their first padded practice on Monday and go for three straight days until taking Thursday off and then practicing on Friday and Saturday. Pickett's injury means Sanders, who slid down into the fifth round of the NFL Draft earlier this year despite many considering him a top three selection, will get more reps. Until now, he has been maginalized with Joe Flacco and Pickett leading the race to be named the starting QB for the Browns. Dillon Gabriel, another quarterback the Browns drafted this year, is also in the running for the starting spot. Cleveland opens the season on Sept. 7 against Cincinnati. Pickett and Flacco have received most of the snaps with the first team during the first four days of practice. Gabriel got some first-team reps while Sanders' just began getting some second-team work Friday and Saturday. 'I'm not even going to think about that or have that even in my thought process of why it is,' Sanders said on Friday about practicing with the third and fourth team. 'It doesn't make me feel down or it doesn´t make me feel left out or anything because I know who I am as a person. I know who I am as an individual, and I know what I could bring to this team. 'I know whenever I get my opportunity, I've got to maximize it,' he said. 'I just got to think about what I could do to get better even if I´m not getting reps.' After struggling early in the week, Pickett had his best practice on Saturday that included a couple of touchdown passes in red zone drills. The coaching staff likes Pickett's mobility and the ability to create plays on the run. 'Coaches are looking for the guy that´s consistent, that´s the same guy every day that they can count on. They can call any play and they know that we´ll get them out of a bad play,' Pickett said on Thursday. 'If the shots called and it´s not there, we´ll check it down.' Pickett was acquired from Philadelphia in March. A 2022 first-round selection by Pittsburgh, Pickett has 25 career starts with 15 touchdowns and 14 interceptions.
