Bindi Irwin: Late dad Steve would have been an 'amazing grandfather'

Bindi Irwin has said that while her late father Steve Irwin may be gone, he certainly hasn't been forgotten.

In an interview with Page Six on Thursday, the 23-year-old wildlife conservationist reflected on the sort of grandfather Steve would've been.

Bindi and her husband Chandler Powell welcomed daughter Grace in March.

'First of all, we would never see Grace. He would just be out showing her everything,' she said.

'He was completely captivated by his kids, and I know he'd be an amazing grandfather and absolutely in love with Grace. We all are.'

Steve's widow Terri Irwin agreed, saying her late husband 'would have been out in the zoo with her nonstop'.

Steve died in September 2006 at the age of 44 after being stabbed through the chest by a stingray barb while filming a documentary on the Great Barrier Reef.

In an interview with podcast What About Death!? earlier this month, Bindi spoke about how she healed following her dad's death when she was eight.

Despite her young age, Bindi said she remembered thinking 'this is going to be a real turning point on how I continue on with the rest of my life'.

'Where there is great loss, you still have to find joy, that's what they would want for you as well,' she said.

'Dad wouldn't want me to be sad every single day, he would want me to find joy in life and he would want me to find happiness in every day and that's what I've chosen to do.'

She added: 'I choose to believe that dad is with me every day and I find great comfort in that.'
