Bindi Irwin paid tribute to her future father Steve Irwin 15 years after his death and called him « the guardian angel of her daughter ».
“This treasure was watching her ‘Grandpa Crocodile’ on the projector in our camp here in the Steve Irwin Wildlife Reserve. It lights up when she sees it on the screen, « she wrote on Instagram on Saturday next to a photo of her 5-month-old daughter Grace and a review of Bindi with her father.
She went on to wish that her father – who died in 2006 at the age of 44 after being pierced by a stingray barb – could be her to hug her little girl.
« I hold on to the idea that he is now your Guardian Angel watching over the best part of my life, Grace Warrior, » she added.
Bindi and her husband Chandler Powell welcomed baby Grace Warrior Irwin in March Powell and named her after her father.
« Her middle name, Warrior Irwin, pays homage to my father and his legacy as the most incredible wildlife warrior, » she said in her announcement.
« She has chosen the perfect day for the birth and we feel immensely blessed, » said a statement at the time.
Grace is already following in the footsteps of her grandfather and mother, after only a few Met animals at the Australia Zoo weeks after she was born, owned by Steve’s widow and Grace’s grandmother Terri Irwin.
