Dannielynn Birkhead just marked a milestone birthday. The daughter of Anna Nicole Smith turned 19 this week, and her father, Larry Birkhead, celebrated by posting a heartfelt video on Instagram. The clip included moments from her childhood and showed just how much she resembles her late mother.
Larry also revealed that the birthday weekend began with an unexpected turn. He suffered from kidney stones and a muscle tear but still made sure the celebration went ahead. Dannielynn spent part of her big day at Universal Orlando’s Halloween Horror Nights before meeting up with friends for more festivities.

The birthday tribute opened with a clip of a young Dannielynn Birkhead holding a bottle and telling her dad it was “for babies.” She tossed it aside with confidence, a small but memorable moment. Larry followed with a slideshow of photos and home videos set to the song “Daughter” by Ben Rector.
As Yahoo! Entertainment reported, fans quickly noticed her resemblance to Anna Nicole Smith. Many shared warm birthday wishes and praised Larry for raising her with such care. One follower called Dannielynn “a beautiful young lady,” while another said she looked “so much like her mom.”
Honoring Her Mother’s Legacy In Style
In recent years, Dannielynn Birkhead has also honored her mother through fashion. At the Barnstable Brown Gala in Louisville earlier this year, she wore Anna Nicole’s iconic black dress. The next day, she attended the Kentucky Derby red carpet in her mother’s necklace, turning heads with the emotional tribute.
The Derby carries special meaning for the Birkhead family, as it was the place where Larry first met Anna Nicole. By continuing this yearly tradition, Dannielynn not only remembers her mother but also embraces her own path into adulthood. At 19, she is finding her voice while carrying her mother’s legacy forward.
