Murphy fires back at Mel B in statement

Eddie Murphy has hit back at former girlfriend Mel B's claims that they
planned to start a family together.

The Spice Girls star insisted her four-month-old baby, Angel Iris, was no
mistake during a press conference held after she filed paternity papers
against Murphy in Los Angeles earlier this week.

She said, "She (Angel Iris) will always know that she was planned and
wanted by the both of us."

But actor/comedian Murphy has begged to differ in a statement released on
Friday, in which he responds to his ex-girlfriend's legal attack on him.

The statement reads, "Eddie Murphy always has and will continue to honor
his responsibilities as a father. Mr. Murphy and Ms. Brown dated very
briefly and never made any plans of ANY sort.

"He acknowledges paternity of the child Angel, and has paid child support
to Ms. Brown as well as covering the expenses of her pregnancy.

"Mr. Murphy views this as a private matter and as such, will not be
making any further comments about it."

Baby Angel was born on April 3 and a subsequent DNA test established
Murphy, who is now engaged to producer Tracey Edmonds, as the father.

The statement from the actor/comedian comes a day after Brown and
Murphy's ex-wife Nicole were spotted dining together at Hollywood
restaurant The Ivy.
