For over a decade, the family has continued the work Steve dedicated his life to. Irwin died in 2006 after being struck in the heart by a stingray barb at the age of 44.

In April, the trio spoke about their beloved husband and father when he received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

"We try to continue dad’s legacy each and every day," Bindi Irwin said during the ceremony. "I never in my wildest dreams thought that this would become reality, it’s such an honor as family to continue in his footsteps."

"He was the best and most incredible conservationist on the planet, but also the best dad," Robert Irwin said at the time.
