Emma Roberts is Lea Michele's best friend

Los Angeles: Actress Lea Michele says Emma Roberts is her "best friend", after they grew close on the set of "Scream Queens".

Michele posted a black and white photograph of the pair hugging and even wrote a post on social media, reports femalefirst.co.uk.

"Happy Birthday to truly the best friend a girl could ask for.. I love you Emma. There is no one I laugh harder with, would rather call in the middle of the night or blast the Wreckers with all day... thank you for always being there for me. Love you so much," Michele wrote.

Michele recently said that one of the "best moments" of her life was when Ryan Murphy, who also created "Glee", offered her the role of murderous Hester Ulrich alongside her best friend, who plays Chanel Oberlin.

Having said that, she gives credit to actress Jamie Lee Curtis for bringing all of them together on the set.

She said: "It's been really wonderful, and she's a dream to work with. Not only that, but Jamie Lee is the best leader we could ask for. There's not a day we don't come to work where Jamie hasn't brought us a gift or a note.

"We're all in a group text, the entire cast, every morning. It's a great family, and I really do believe that that translates onto the screen when you have that type of unity, and you see it in the work we all do together."
