And on Saturday, nine-year-old Dannielynn was once again joined by proud papa Larry Birkhead for the 142nd Kentucky Derby.

Standing tall next to her dad, the only daughter of Anna Nicole, who tragically died in 2007 from an accidental overdose, looked exactly like the reality TV star.

The mother-daughter duo both have the same sparkling blue eyes, beaming smile and blonde locks.

In a touching tribute, Dannielynn and Larry attend the Kentucky Derby every year as it is the event where Larry first met Anna Nicole back in 2004.

Just like mum! Dannielynn has an uncanny resemblance to the vivacious reality star, who sadly died in 2007.

Last year Larry spoke to Entertainment Tonight about raising Dannielynn in a time of social media.

The Kentucky local didn’t hold back when it came to acknowledging the Playboy pin-up lived a very colourful life, telling the entertainment show he is taking an honest approach with Anna Nicole’s legacy.

“There is YouTube these days and that stuff’s out there and my daughter likes to Google already and I’m trying to keep her from it,” Larry confessed.

“She’ll see things, you know, when she grows up, that not necessarily all true. Was [Anna Nicole] wild? Yeah, sure. But [she was] a great lady, and a great mum,” he insisted.

The buxom blonde first rose to prominence in 1994 when she married 89-year-old oil tycoon, J. Howard Marshall. She was just 26 at the time.

The billionaire passed away a year after their nuptials and a bitter feud between Anna Nicole and his family erupted over his vast inheritance.

She also won a legion of fans with her kooky E! reality show, aptly named The Anna Nicole Show, which ran from 2002-2004.

Proud father Larry takes his daughter to the Kentucky Derby every year to honour her late mother.

For Larry, 42, the memory of his one-time partner is still burning bright in Dannielynn.

“She reminds me so much of her mum and as she gets older, and her features are changing, it’s just like having a little miniature Anna Nicole running around in so many ways,” he explained to ET.

There’s no doubt Anna, pictured at the Derby in 2004, would have been so proud of her daughter.
