She spent Christmas in Paris with her fiancee, Olivier Martinez.

But Halle Berry was undoubtedly missing her little girl, Nahla, during the lovers' getaway.

The 46-year-old actress scooped up her sleepy four-year-old daughter and carried the youngster on her hip as they made their way through a New York City airport after a joyous reunion on Friday.

Halle looked tired after a long-haul flight herself, although her complexion was flawless even without a scrap of make-up.

The actress dressed down in tight leather pants, a black sweater, grey scarf and black coat, while Nahla was dressed adorably in head-to-toe pink and orange striped pants.

The curly-haired daughter of Halle and ex-partner Gabriel Aubry sweetly leaned her head on her mother's shoulder, while the actress leaned her cheek against her little girl's forehead and walked through JFK airport.

Noticeably absent was Halle's fiance, French actor Olivier.

The couple were pictured several times taking in the sights around his native Paris while Nahla spent Christmas with her dad in the U.S.

It seemed earlier this week, however, that the holidays without her little girl had started to take a toll on Halle, who was seen looking decidedly miserable even on a walk through the City of Lights on Thursday, even while holding her handsome man's hand.

Halle and Olivier have had a difficult few months that would any relationship to the test.

The actor had been hoping to return to his home country permanently with his American fiance, both of whom would like to trade in the Hollywood lifestyle for more low profile one.

'Otherwise, to be a movie star, it's a lot of compromise and also a lot of headaches.'

Halle has been embroiled in a bitter custody battle with her ex, 36-year-old Canadian model Gabriel, and recently lost a legal challenge to move to France permanently with her daughter.

The actress was ostentatiously carrying a child's pink pig backpack as she arrived in France, suggesting that she wanted to keep her daughter as close to her as possibly during this enforced absence.

As the pair walked through the arrivals terminal at the Charles De Gaulle airport Olivier pumped the air victoriously perhaps indicating that he was happy to finally be back on home turf after a difficult few months.

At least the couple have had a more peaceful Christmas holiday than their Thanksgiving during which Halle's ex Gabriel Aubry was involved in a brutal brawl with Martinez.

The incident occurred during a custody hand over at her Hollywood Hills home in which Aubry alleged Martinez said: 'You’re going to Paris or I’m going to kill you... You’re going to Paris, you’re going to get your 20 grand a month in child support.'

Aubry was found by police to be the aggressor in the incident but charges against him were dropped.

They arrived in Paris just in time for Christmas.

And Halle Berry and Olivier Martinez wasted no time in getting up and out as the couple were seen happily strolling through the Saint-Germain-des-Prés neighbourhood on Sunday.

But it seems that a Christmas without her little girl has started to take it's toll on Halle and her beau, both 46, as when they stepped out on Thursday, they looked thoroughly miserable.

Nahla, five, has remained in Los Angeles with her father, Gabriel Aubry, 36, for the festivities and as any parent will tell you, Christmas without your child is hard.

No doubt the idea of a romantic trip to Paris with your beau must've seemed just the ticket to take her mind of it but Halle's face suggests this didn't work.

She recently lost a legal battle to move to France permanently with her daughter Nahla.
And on Saturday morning a wistful looking Halle Berry landed in Paris for Christmas with her Gallic fiance Olivier Martinez - but without her 5-year-old.
While the couple were traveling alone, Halle was ostentatiously carrying a child's pink pig backpack, seemingly indicating that she would be joined by her daughter later in the holiday.

Holding hands tightly, the couple are probably hoping for a more peaceful Christmas holiday than their Thanksgiving during which Halle's ex Gabriel Aubry was involved in a brutal brawl with Martinez.
The incident occurred during a custody hand over at her Hollywood Hills homein which Aubry alleged Martinez said: 'You’re going to Paris or I’m going to kill you....You’re going to Paris, you’re going to get your 20 grand a month in child support.'
Aubry was found by police to be the aggressor in the incident but charges against him were dropped last week.

Vive la France! Olivier seemed triumphant as the couple walked through the arrivals terminal

As the pair walked through the arrivals terminal at the Charles De Gaulle airport Olivier, 42, pumped the air victoriously perhaps indicating that he was happy to finally be back on home turf after a difficult few months.
Wearing a padded black jacket, skinny black jeans and a pair of buckles boots the Oscar winning actress did manage a smile for her love of two years.
And with Nahla rumoured to be flying in to join the couple at a later date, it seems the couple have wrangled some concession from model Aubry and avoided the opportunity for any more trouble during the upcoming handover.

Piggy in the middle: Olivier Martinez has been thrust in the middle of a bitter custody battle

Last week Halle made sure to spend some quality with her little girl before leaving for the holidays treating Nahla to an outing to see Disney On Ice.
Halle, Olivier and four-year-old Nahla were spotted at the Staples Center in Los Angeles on Thursday and looked like they were doing their best to put their recent troubles behind them.
They seemed to be putting the little girl first and concentrating on giving her the perfect Christmas instead of bitterly squabbling over custody rights with Halle's ex Aubry.

At one point Olivier, 46, touched his own face gently while talking to Nahla - possibly pointing at an old scar or blemish.
Then Halle bought her little girl a purple princess crown and the cute curly-haired youngster eagerly put it on and happily sat through the rest of the show.
The Oscar winning actress was wearing black jeans, a black baggy jumper and black flat knee high boots.

Her cropped hair was styled in a semi quiff and she accessorised with a patterned scarf.
Luckily the little girl seemed unaware of the tension surrounding her parents.
It emerged earlier in same day that the case against Aubry, who was charged with assault following the Thanksgiving altercation, will be settled out of court.
Aubry, who was scheduled to be arraigned in court on charges of misdemeanor battery Thursday morning, will instead meet with Martinez at a hearing at the Los Angeles City Attorney’s Office, according to spokesman Frank Mateljan.
