Selena Gomez felt "so happy" on the set of 'Wizards of Waverly Place'.

The 32-year-old actress played Alex Russo on the Disney Channel sitcom between 2007 and 2012, and Selena has taken to social media to reveal that she relished being involved with the new spin-off series.

Alongside some behind-the-scenes photos from the set, Selena wrote on Instagram: "NOTHING will ever beat making little kids laugh… thank you @disneywizardsseries for making the little girl in me so happy!! Hope you guys watch!! [heart and wand emojis] (sic)"

In one of her photos, Selena poses for a selfie while the crew can be seen in the background. In another snap, Selena appears alongside David Henrie, who plays her older brother Justin Russo on the show.

Selena recently claimed that she will "never forget" the role 'Wizards of Waverly Place' played in her career.

The actress also revealed that she loved being involved with the new sequel series.

The brunette beauty told PEOPLE: "This is what gave me everything that I have today, and I'll never forget that this is where I started."

Selena also admitted that she's already "made" her 11-year-old sister watch the show.

She said: "It's the best feeling in the whole world to be able to bring this back for you and to all the people who have never seen it before.

"My sister included. I've made her watch it. I don't think she's that into it, but I was so genuinely happy to be able to just bring the nostalgia back."

Asked how her on-screen character has evolved, Selena replied: "I personally think we kind of picked up where we left off and it shows a very established Justin and also a very established Alex and you're still curious about what they're going through, but it kind of felt like a rhythm we got back into."
