Dannielynn Birkhead took in a Broadway show with her dad Larry Birkhead on Jan. 20, and onlookers couldn’t help but notice how much the 6-year-old looks just like her mom Anna Nicole Smith! Anna passed away in February 2007 when Dannielynn was just a few months old.

Dannielynn and her dad caught the Broadway musical Annie, and were photographed backstage. Since the death of her mom, Dannielynn has been in the care of her dad Larry — who has proven to be a doting single dad.

Dannielynn Birkhead Pursues Modeling Career Like Mom Anna Nicole

Anna Nicole’s legacy as a Guess model lives on in her daughter when Dannielynn ever since the 6-year-old was featured in a new ad campaign for Guess Kids for the Spring 2013 collection.

Replicating her mom’s iconic look, Dannielynn poses in a black-and-white photo while leaning against a piece of driftwood. Another color photo shows her fun personality in the same white denim vest and denim skirt, but this time with a cute brown fedora.

“Dannielynn has always looked up to her mom’s image and I think that this is kind of Dannielynn’s way of paying tribute to her mom in her own special way,” Larry told Good Morning America in November.

“To see her mom’s picture next to hers as a Guess girl and say, ‘Hey, I was a Guess Kids girl, my mommy was a Guess girl,’ that might be her only connection with her mom,” he added.

In an interview with Good Morning America on June 18, Larry Birkhead revealed the heartbreaking question his beautiful daughter Dannielynn Birkhead asked during a recent trip to the gravesite of her mother Anna Nicole Smith.

“This time was a little tough because she has a little bit better understanding of things,” Larry, 39, said about daughter Dannielynn, 5, “She said ‘why did mommy die?’”

He responded to the heartbreaking question by telling her “Doctors couldn’t fix her, but if you’re good… you’ll get to see her someday.”

In 2007, Larry fought an intense custody battle over Dannielynn because the paternity of Anna Nicole’s daughter was unclear. Anna Nicole’s then-partner Howard Stern believed he was the father and had custody of Dannielynn. Larry was then awarded custody of Dannielynn after DNA testing proved that he was her father.

Larry has made protecting Dannielynn his number-one priority in order to give her a normal life.

“She’s as well adjusted as she can be,” Larry said. “She just worries about her toys and where she’s going and where I’m gonna take her. And I do all the shielding and worrying for her.”

Stepping out in a flowery hat and an angelic spring dress, Dannielynn Birkhead looked adorable at the 2012 Kentucky Derby on May 5 — and she looks just like her late mother Anna Nicole Smith.

Her father, Larry Birkhead is a Kentucky native who actually met Anna Nicole at a Derby after party in 2004! It’s so sweet that he’s bringing their daughter back to where their romance first began!

Kept mostly out of the public eye, five-year-old Dannielynn, who arrived with her father to the 138th annual horse races, looks like she’s grown so much!

Dannielynn is named after half-brother Daniel, who died of a drug overdose three days after Dannielynn’s birth. Anna Nicole was 39 when she died of an accidental drug overdose in February 2007, only five months after her daughter was born.

Don’t you think Dannielynn looks so grown up, HollyMoms?

And Dannielynn‘s father, Larry Birkhead, will never let his daughter forget about her mother Anna Nicole Smith. He says the little lady is “very smart” and curious about her late mommy, who died at the age of 39, just five months after Dannielynn was born.

Sadly, Anna Nicole’s 20-year-old son Daniel passed away three short days after Danielynn was born. There was a huge paternity controversy after Anna Nicole died a few months later until it was determined that Larry was in fact Dannielynn’s biological father.

“She can walk by her picture and she’ll give a kiss to her mom in a photo album, or at Christmas, we were sitting at home and The Naked Gun came on with her mom in it, and I let her see an appropriate little clip of that, and she knew right away her mom was, you know, ‘There’s my mom. That’s Anna Nicole,’” Larry explained earlier this year.

“My goal was always to keep Daniel and Anna in her mind and let her know who they were without overdoing it,” Larry added. “You have a responsibility to keep Anna’s memory alive.”

We know Dannielynn is living a wonderful life and we’re sure she’ll have an amazing birthday! Happy Birthday!

Larry Birkhead is a good dad. He’s making sure that his little girl Dannielynn always remembers her mommy!

Dannielynn Birkhead may have only been 5 months old when her mommy Anna Nicole Smith passed away in Feb. 2007, but now that she’s four years old, she’s been asking about Anna. “[Dannielynn] keeps me on my toes, because she’s very smart and she’s asked things already about her mom,” Dannielynn’s father Larry Birkhead tells ET. He’s doing a good job of keeping Anna’s memory alive.

“She can walk by her picture and she’ll give a kiss to her mom in a photo album, or at Christmas, we were sitting at home and The Naked Gun came on with her mom in it, and I let her see an appropriate little clip of that, and she knew right away her mom was, you know, ‘There’s my mom. That’s Anna Nicole.’”

“My goal was always to keep [her late brother] Daniel and Anna in her mind and let her know who they were without overdoing it,” says Larry. “You have a responsibility to keep Anna’s memory alive.”

Dannielynn is looking more like Anna Nicole Smith every day!

If Anna were here today, she’d be quite proud of her daughter. “Dannielynn is bright, she’s intelligent, she’s met and exceeded all of her developmental milestones by all accounts from her teachers and, you know, medical personnel,” Larry notes. “Anybody that comes in contact with her talks about how bright and intelligent [she is] and how she leaves an impression.”

Dannielynn is also one very busy little girl. “It’s hard enough for me to keep up with her social calendar,” Larry laughs.

And the four-year-old is very different from other children her own age. “She loves cheese,” Larry gushes. “She doesn’t like the things that all kids like, like ice cream and pizza, things that kids go crazy for she doesn’t. She knows what she wants, like her mom.”

Dannielynn is a Anna Nicole Smith mini-me!

Dannielynn is also very aware of her celebrity status. “She knows that, when we are like out and about, that people take pictures, and she knows that people are following us,” sates Larry. “We were in New York and, as crazy as that is, she could pick a [paparazzo] out of a crowd.”

Larry Birkhead wants to protect his little girl Dannielynn from all bad in the world. He doesn’t want her to hear what’s being said about her mommy, Anna Nicole Smith, as the jury begins deliberations today in the trial over her accidental death.

Larry Birkhead, 37, is such a good daddy to his 4-year-old daughter Dannielynn! The pair shared cupcakes at the Hunger Relief Fundraiser at CityCenter’s Beso restaurant in Las Vegas on Oct. 11.

As Larry and Dannielynn had a father-daughter date on Monday, the controversy over the her mom Anna Nicole Smith’s drug overdose and accidental death continued.

A jury will convene in Los Angeles today (Oct. 12) to deliberate on whether Anna’s two doctors — Dr. Sandeep Kapoor and psychiatrist Khristine Eroshevich — and her lawyer boyfriend, Howard K. Stern, are guilty of giving her too many prescription pills that lead to her overdose and death in a Florida hotel room on Feb. 8, 2007.

Despite district attorney Renee Rose saying that the the two doctors used false names to give out the prescriptions, after nine weeks of testimony, the defendants stand by the notion that they gave Anna the pills to help ease her physical and emotional pain. Testimony ended on Oct. 8 and the case is now in the hands of the jury.
