Steve Irwin’s daughter has moved fans to tears with an emotional Instagram tribute to her dad who tragically died in 2006.

Bindi paid tribute to her beloved father, The Crocodile Hunter, sharing the adorable family snap with her 3.5m followers on Instagram.
She captioned the heartbreaking photograph: “Thank you to my incredible parents for showing me the importance of protecting our Mother Earth.

Her devoted fans rushed to comment on the post, reduced to tears at the moving message about Bindi’s parents.

“This bought a tear to my eye , three inspirational and beautiful people” commented a fourth Bindi fan.
Bindi and Chandler got married last month at Australia Zoo, with the happy couple tying the knot after getting engaged in July last year, on Bindi’s 21st birthday.
They had a ‘secret’ ceremony during the coronavirus pandemic, just hours before the Federal Government’s COVID-19 deadline on the number of guests allowed at a wedding ceremony came into action.
Bindi and Chandler became husband and wife at a small ceremony with just a few family members there, with Robert Irwin walking his sister down the aisle.
