We were approaching the airport and we were given clearance for a Visual Approach. We were at about 5000 feet roughly 7 miles from the airport. We started a descent to the runway and got a 'terrain' warning on the GPWS (Ground Proximity Warning System). Immediately after that we got a 'pull up' alert. It was at night in VFR conditions. We had the runway as well as all surrounding terrain in sight and were well clear of the terrain. We complied with the 'pull up' warning just in case we missed something. I believe our rate of descent may have caused this alarm to go off. At no point were we close enough to any terrain for this to have gone off and at no time was the aircraft in any unsafe situation. After the warning stopped we completed the landing as normal without further issue.
