The reality star added that the love and support of her family helped her immensely to cope with the heartbreak of losing her father at such a young age.
Bindi was only eight years old when her father, known to millions around the world as “the crocodile hunter”, died on September 4, 2006, at the age of 44, after being stabbed in chest by a stingray while filming a documentary on the Great Barrier Reef.
Steve’s family continued their mission to promote and protect wildlife through Australia Zoo, and the family became global stars.
“Surrounded by wildlife, next to the creek, that’s where I felt most connected to nature and my father,” Bindi continued.
