And in a new interview with Entertainment Tonight her proud father, Larry Birkhead, has revealed that just like any other parent he is learning to negotiate the online world with his child.
However, unlike other parents, the Kentucky local has a bit more of a curve ball on his hands – confessing his only child has started to Google her late mother.
Larry doesn’t hold back when it comes 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.
A curious appetite: Larry Birkhead says his eight-year-old daughter Dannielynn has started to use Google.
“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, who tragically passed away from an accidental overdose in 2007, first rose to prominence in 1994 when she married 89-year-old oil tycoon, J. Howard Marshall. She was just 26 at the time.
Just like mum! “She reminds me so much of her mum, it’s just like having a little miniature Anna Nicole running around in so many ways,” the 42-year-old photographer told ET.
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.
For Larry, 42, the memory of his one-time partner is still burning bright in Dannielynn, who bears an uncanny resemblance to the vivacious reality star.
“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.
The father-daughter duo often make the pilgrimage to the Bahamas, where Anna Nicole and her son Daniel, who sadly died from an accidental overside just three days after Dannielynn was born, are buried.
The father-daughter duo share an incredibly close blond.
“We go back all the time and we go to [Anna Nicole’s] grave. We visit and I tell Dannielynn stories about her mum,” Larry explained.
“I don’t sugar coat it. I say there are some things that your mum did and you know I try to make her learn from it.”
