Heavenly Hiraani Tiger Lily Hutchence (born 22 July 1996) is the daughter of the late INXS band member Michael Hutchence, and late TV host Paula Yates. She commonly goes by the name Tiger Lily.

At the time of her birth, Yates was still legally married to singer Bob Geldof, but then left him for Hutchence. Michael Hutchence committed suicide in 1997, and Yates died of an overdose in 2000. After her mother's death, Tiger Lily has been cared for by Geldof. The Hutchence family waged a custody battle for Tiger Lily but lost to Geldof. Tiger Lily now lives with Geldof, his long time girlfriend Jeanne Marine, and Geldof's three elder daughters, Fifi Trixibelle, Peaches and Pixie, whom he had with Paula Yates.

Tiger Lily has received curiosity over her name. She was so named because Michael & Paula thought she was heavenly; and Hiraani was Michael's favorite word (Michael also had a friend with that name). Some draw similarities between her name and the names that Frank Zappa gave to his children - Moon Unit Zappa and Dweezil Zappa.

In an April 2006 issue of New Idea magazine it was reported that Tiger Lily visited Australia for the first time since she was a baby, with her adoptive father Bob Geldof. She attended the Byron Bay Blues and Roots Festival with him. Also in the issue, it claimed that Tiger Lily carries a photo of her late father around in her purse with her wherever she goes.
