Los Angeles, June 17 - Welsh actress Catherine Zeta-Jones, who is settled in the US, says she misses her family and friends back home.

Currently, the 42-year-old lives in New York with her husband, actor Michael Douglas, and her two children.

"It's really hard for me because I've been out of Wales longer than I ever lived there. My family is so close that I really miss just being able to say to my mom or my friends, 'Just come on over for a cup of tea and we'll talk through stuff'," contactmusic. com quoted Zeta-Jones as saying.

Jones meets her family when they come to visit her.

"Wales comes to me now. They much prefer to get away from the weather. They liked to come visit when we were in Bermuda, they love to come to New York. My children adore their grandparents and their uncles," she said. (IANS)
