It's been more than a decade since Steve Irwin's tragic death [1], and his legacy is still going strong. On April 26, the late Crocodile Hunter star was posthumously honoured with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, 12 years after he was fatally pierced by a stingray while filming an underwater documentary in Australia. The remaining Irwin family, including wife Terri, 19-year-old Bindi, and 14-year-old Robert, were there to celebrate the occasion.

Bindi — whose boyfriend, Chandler Powell, came along for support — teared up while delivering a heartfelt speech about her late father at the ceremony. "I have to tell you that I never in my wildest dreams imagined that this would become a reality, and this is such an honour as a family to continue in dad's footsteps, so thank you for being here today and supporting us," she said, according to People [2].

Terri, 53, spoke about how life was the "biggest adventure" with Steve and that "every single day was like being in the middle of a cyclone." She added, "I learned from Steve that everyone just needs to say yes to stuff. Take a page out of Steve's book and love everything."
