Denise Richards’ daughters want dolls for Christmas.

The actress – who has six-year-old Sam and five-year-old Lola with ex-husband Charlie Steen – says the youngsters are obsessed with American Girl toys and their wish lists to Santa contain nothing but the popular brand this year.

Denise said: "Have you heard of American Girl? That's all they want. They actually went through the catalogue, and that's all that's on their lists."

Denise – who now has an amicable relationship with Charlie following their acrimonious divorce in 2006 –is looking forward to a happy and safe Christmas in California after she bought an artificial tree because she is afraid of starting a blaze with a real one.

She told People magazine: "I'm afraid that we're going to start a fire with our light. That's the God's honest truth. It's too dry in California, and I don't want to start a forest fire."

While Denise’s daughters adore dolls they are also fans of reading and particularly adore reading the popular ‘Fancy Nancy’ series with their mother.

Denise explained: "We're into the ‘Fancy Nancy’ series right now, and the ‘Junie B.’ series. My girls pick them out. I love when they come home with that big bag of books and they're so excited to read these amazing books."
