Steve Irwin To Receive Star On The Hollywood Walk Of Fame 12 Years After His Tragic Death

‘It’s all about continuing dad’s amazing work and inspiring others to become wildlife warriors,’ Robert shared.

Devastating: The world was shocked on September 4, 2006, when Steve died aged 44 after a stingray struck him with a barb to the heart while filming on the Great Barrier Reef near Port Douglas

‘We’re so excited for this new series – it’s going to be absolutely amazing. There’s never a dull moment here at Australia Zoo,’ he added.

When asked what they think Steve would think of the show, Robert shared: ‘Well, I think that dad would be proud and that’s what we hope. It is sort of our life mission to really continue his legacy.

The Irwins are set to star in their very own Animal Planet TV show later this year in Steve’s honor.

‘I would hope that we’re making him proud and continue to do that work through this show.’
