"Friends" star Courteney Cox is threatening to sue newspapers and magazines that publish photographs of her daughter's baptism.

Cox and actor husband David Arquette are reportedly furious that pictures taken at 10-month-old Coco's celebration earlier this month are being distributed to the media, says internet portal Femalefirst.

"Although we are public figures, we do have a right to privacy. The photos from our daughter's christening are being distributed without our consent," the couple said in a statement.

"Anyone publishing these photos will be in copyright infringement and liable to legal action. We appreciate your sensitivity to this matter."

Courteney's "Friends" co-star Jennifer Aniston was also at the baptism ceremony, where she was named as one of Coco's godmothers.

According to the New York Daily News, the private pictures and reports were sent to it by a sender identified as 'Jennifer Aniston'. However, Aniston's representative has denied they were from the actress.
