10 years after his tragic death, Steve Irwin’s daughter Bindi is paying tribute to the man she called “my hero”.
The 18-year-old took to Instagram to share a sweet snap of her and her late father as people around the world remembered the Crocodile Hunter on the 10th anniversary of his death.
“You'll be my hero for my entire existence. I love you more than words can describe.”
Steve tragically died in 2006 after his was struck repeatedly by stingray barb while filming an underwater documentary.
Last week, Steve’s father, Bob, published a recently found letter in a new memoir, The Last Crocodile Hunter: A Father and Son Legacy.
According to reports, the letter was found last year by Bob after it fell out of a book; on the envelope was written: "Please be happy to know that your strength and wisdom have been passed on."
Steve’s letter, which was written 12 years before he passed, went on to praise his parents and the influence they have had on his life.
"Probably one of the most unfortunate things in a 'Bloke's Life' is that it takes over 30 years to realise how essential you have been to build my character, my ethics and, most importantly, my HAPPINESS.”
"At 32, I am finally starting to figure it out. In good times and in bad, you were there. Your strength and endurance to raise me will not go unrewarded. My love for you is my strength!”
