"Aisha gave birth very early this morning. She had a little girl. Mother and daughter are doing fine," said a government official.
Aisha, her mother Safiya and brother Mohammed and Hannibal arrived in Algeria after a dramatic escape across the desert to avoid rebel forces.
They were smuggled out in a cloak-and-dagger operation, arriving on Mondayu00a0 morning in a convoy of six armoured Mercedes.
Mourad Benmehidi, the Algerian UN representative, said that a woman gave birth near the border without any medical equipment or assistance. It has not been confirmed whether that person was Aisha.
Algerian authorities earlier said that the family were allowed into the country on purely 'humanitarian grounds'.
Father's little girlThe foreign ministry gave no indication that it knew the whereabouts of fallen dictator Moammer Gaddafi.
He is thought to be heading south towards Sabha, one of the last strongholds of Gaddafi loyalists, with his sons Saadi and Saif al-Islam.
Gaddafi's only biological daughter, Aisha, has been vocal in support of her father's regime.
Known as 'North Africa's Claudia Schiffer' because of her long blonde hair, she is close to her father. She often speaks at public rallies whipping pro-Gaddafi supporters into a frenzy.

In April, she said President Obama had 'achieved nothing' and mocked Secretary of State Hillary Clinton for not leaving her husband, Bill, after his affair with Monica Lewinsky.
Dressed in tight jeans and Gucci shoes, she said, "Why didn't you leave the White House when you found out about the cheating of your husband?"
