The 46-year-old Beverley Hills Cop actor spoke briefly to reporters after emerging from the Los Angeles doctor's surgery where he had the paternity test.

He was ordered to take the test by a court in order that the dispute could be settled.

Murphy, already a father of five, has continually denied Mel B's claims that the child is his and is now dating film producer Tracey Edmonds.

He has not seen Mel B or her daughter Angel Iris since she was born on April 3.
