Selena Gomez couldn’t avoid getting emotional after she was showered of fan presents on her birthday. The Wizards of Waverly Place star, who turned 17 last Thursday (July 22), broke into tears when she saw the tons of cards, flowers and homemade gifts she had received. "I'm crying because I just finished my show and all my fans bought me so many gifts. It just made me realize how blessed I am," Gomez said. Selena also used her Twitter account to thank her people. "AND THANK YOU TO ALL OF MY WONDERFUL FANS FOR WISHING ME A HAPPY BIRTHDAY! I LOVE YOU GUYS!" she wrote.
