Bindi Irwin has paid tribute to her "guardian angel" dad Steve Irwin 16 years after his death. The legendary wildlife expert died on September 4, 2006 aged 44 following a freak accident with a stingray and his daughter Bindi remembered him on the anniversary of the tragedy in a sweet message declaring he would have been a wonderful grandad to her little girl Grace. She wrote: "Grandpa Crocodile, I know you would've been the most incredible grandfather because you were such an extraordinary dad.
Thank you for being an amazing guardian angel for Grace. " The 24-year-old TV personality added a picture which showed her as a child sitting in a boat with Steve holding a baby crocodile. Steve's son Robert also added a tribute to the late crocodile hunter and pointed out the anniversary of his death coincided with Australia's Father'a Day.
He shared a picture of himself as a toddler being held by his dad and wrote: "It's Father's Day today in Australia, and I am sending my love to those who are missing their dad today. I cherish all the good times with my dad and feel grateful to be able to keep his memory and legacy alive. " Bindi's little girl Grace Warrior is her first child with husband Chandler Powell and she arrived in March 2021.
She recently explained her daughter's middle name is a tribute to Steve. In a post on Instagram, Bindi wrote: "Our graceful warrior is the most beautiful light. Grace is named after my great-grandmother, and relatives in Chandler's family dating back to the 1700s.
"Her middle names, Warrior Irwin, are a tribute to my dad and his legacy as the most incredible Wildlife Warrior. Her last name is Powell, and she already has such a kind soul just like her dad. "
