Barbra Streisand has marked Paul McCartney's birthday with a thoughtful note.

The Beatles icon turned 83 on Wednesday, and in a message shared via Instagram, he thanked fans for helping "celebrate this special day".

While in her own birthday tribute, Barbra posted a photo of herself and Paul sitting in a recording studio.

"To Paul... Happy Birthday. Hope you're celebrating with a little help from your friends... including me. xo Barbra," she wrote, referring to the 1967 Beatles hit, With a Little Help from My Friends.

Barbra, 83, also shared the image via Instagram Stories with the song as the soundtrack.

The pair recently collaborated on a cover of My Valentine for her upcoming duets album, The Secret of Life Partners, Volume Two.

Accordingly, Paul gushed over the recording session in a blog post shared in May.

"(It was) nerve-wracking. Nail-biting! I did the session with her in L.A. and I was pretty terrified. I think the session was about three hours, you know, a normal kind of session, and it was produced by my friend Peter Asher," he explained. "But it started off with a big 40-piece orchestra on the Sony lot, which is one of the old Hollywood film studios; it's very impressive. And we were on The Barbra Streisand Scoring Stage, so no pressure there!"

The Secret of Life Partners, Volume Two is set to drop on 27 June.
