Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis sue MailOnline over photos

Kutcher and Kunis were married earlier this month

Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis have taken legal action against MailOnline over pictures of their daughter.

The celebrity couple have issued High Court proceedings against Associated Newspapers on behalf of themselves and one-year-old Wyatt over two articles.

The claim alleges misuse of private information and breaches of the Data Protection Act.

It concerns publication of paparazzi photographs of family outings used for "unauthorised" promotion of clothing.

Their lawyer, Paul Tweed, said "Ashton and Mila understandably value their private and family life, and in particular their personal time with their daughter.

"Like any other family they should be allowed to enjoy family outings without being pursued by photographers.

"They have made it clear that they do not agree to the publication of photographs of such occasions."

MailOnline has been contacted by the BBC for a comment on the proceedings.

Kutcher and Kunis, who starred together in the sitcom That 70s Show were married earlier this month.
