Nicole Richie is celebrating her return to the big screen with her family by her side.

Richie and her husband, Good Charlotte singer Joel Madden, attended the Los Angeles premiere of “Don’t Tell Mom the Babysitter’s Dead” on Tuesday with daughter Harlow, 16, and son Sparrow, 14, in tow.

It was a rare red-carpet appearance for both teens, who bear a striking resemblance to their famous parents.

Appearing on “The Drew Barrymore Show” last year, Madden said that he and Nicole Richie “got lucky with our kids — they’re easy.”

“I always tell my kids, ‘You make it so easy to be a dad,’” he explained. “They’re just good kids. They really are. They’re great, and I think they’re like their mom.”

“Don’t Tell Mom the Babysitter’s Dead,” due out April 12, is a remake of the 1991 film starring Christina Applegate.

Directed by Wade Allain-Marcus, the coming-of-age comedy features Simone Joy Jones as Tanya Crandell, a reimagined version of Applegate’s character in the original.

After a babysitter’s unexpected death leaves Tanya in charge of her siblings, the inexperienced 17-year-old fakes her way into an assistant job under corporate executive Rose Lindsey (Richie) so she can bring in some cash.

It’s turning out to be an exciting year for not only Richie and Madden, but others in their families too. Richie’s sister, Sofia Richie Grainge, confirmed in January that she and her husband, Elliot Grainge, are expecting their first child.

And Madden’s brother, Benji Madden, announced the birth of his second child, son Cardinal, with wife Cameron Diaz last month.
