Anna Nicole Smith's daughter Dannielynn, 17, is 'spitting image' of late mom as fans say she has her 'gorgeous features' | 22MK2W9 | 2024-05-12 13:08:01
FANS have gushed over a new photo of Anna Nicole Smith's daughter Dannielynn on social media.
The late actress shares the 17-year-old with her ex Larry Birkhead.
But fans were stunned to see how similar Dannielynn, 17, looked to Anna Nicole, who died in 2007 at the age of 39.
In a new post on Instagram, Larry shared a photo with their daughter while on a Delta flight home from the Kentucky Derby.
The photographer posed for a selfie with the teenager from the first-class section on the plane.
Anna's ex wore a blue polo shirt, a baseball cap, and a chain necklace as he grinned at the camera.
Meanwhile, Dannielynn sported an oversized black graphic t-shirt with Apple Airpod Max hanging around her neck.
The headphones were covered in colorful stickers, and she finished off the look with silver-rimmed prescription glasses.
The late celebrity's daughter went makeup-free and wore her blonde hair styled in a short bob.
Dannielynn grinned brightly as she returned home from a getaway with her dad.
DAD'S FEAR
On the second slide, the former actor snapped a picture of the message hand-written by a Delta employee, reading, "Thank you for flying with us.
"Hey! I know you were nervous to fly today, but you did great!! We're always here for your safety and comfort.
<!-- End of Brightcove Player --> "Despite the minor bumps, I hope you had a great experience today. Kirsten," Larry's note closed.
He spoke about his fear of flying in the caption, writing, "On our way back home from a great @kentuckyderby weekend.
"Since I am scared to fly, I got a note for being a good boy. Thanks Kirsten @delta #flydelta."

ANNA NICOLE
Anna Nicole, formally known as Vickie Lynn Hogan, was born in November 1967.
As a teenager, she dropped out of high school to begin working at a fast-food restaurant.
Shortly after, she got married to her first husband, Billy Wayne Smith, and welcomed their son Daniel.
After Anna and Billy divorced, she met 89-year-old billionaire J. Howard Marshall.
The pair tied the knot as her modeling career began to flourish, and in 1993 she was awarded Playboy's Playmate of the Year.
Marshall died only 13 months into their marriage, which prompted a 10-year legal battle over his estate.
Despite this, Anna's entertainment career continued to skyrocket as she landed multiple modeling gigs and acting roles.

KENTUCKY DERBY MEET CUTE
Larry and Dannielynn's return to the Kentucky Derby is a yearly ritual they partake in to celebrate the life of the late star.
The entertainment professional first met Anna at the event in 2003, and shortly after she asked him to move into her Los Angeles home to be her personal photographer.
From there, they lived together for two and a half years until the Playboy model became pregnant with Dannielynn.
"We were living together and doing baby planning. We were picking out names for our baby.
"Despite what anyone says, Anna knew I was the father," he previously told the Daily Mail.
LEGAL BATTLE
But when Anna gave birth to her daughter in September 2006, she publicly alleged that the baby was the child of Howard K. Stern, her attorney.
After her sudden death by overdose in February 2007, Stern was granted custody of Dannielynn.
This incited a tense paternity battle between the lawyer and Larry.
Following a DNA test, the photographer was determined to be the child's biological father and he was granted sole custody.
