Larry Birkhead just shared with everyone that his and Anna Nicole Smith's daughter, Dannielynn Birkhead, is all grown up.
Taking to his Instagram handle, he posted a sweet tribute reel to ring in his daughter's birthday on September 7.
He captioned it, “Happy 20th Birthday Dannielynn! ❤️ Love, Dad ❤️”
Larry Birkhead shared a reel featuring daughter Dannielynn's photos on her 20th birthday.
The reel featured snapshots of Dannielynn, new ones and old.
In the first picture, she posed on a city stoop, sporting a black velvet dress, fishnet tights, lacy socks, sunglasses, and matching necklaces.
The second photo was of the now-20-year-old youngster sitting at a restaurant in a Ghost T-shirt, with her hair dyed red.
As Larry mentioned in the caption, both of the outfits were purchased at Hot Topic.
These shots were followed by two more pictures, which featured a much younger Dannielynn with her dad.
Larry Birkhead Has Largely Kept Dannielynn Out of the Spotlight
Larry Birkhead kept Dannielynn largely out of the limelight since Anna Nicole's death in 2007.
Since Anna died in 2007, which happened a mere five months after Dannielynn's birth, Larry made sure to keep their daughter out of the Hollywood spotlight.
From what is known from his Instagram handle, the father-daughter duo has made visiting the Kentucky Derby an annual tradition after the photographer met Anna there back in the day.

Larry Birkhead expressed that now that Dannielynn is grown up, their time at the horse race might be coming to a close soon.
Now that Dannielynn enters a new decade, currently in her sophomore year of college, studying forensics, Larry said that their time at the horse race might be coming to a close soon.
Talking to Access Hollywood in May, he revealed, "She’s almost 20 years old, and there’s cooler people to hang out with [than] me."
Larry Birkhead and Dannielynn visit the Kentucky Derby every year after he met Anna Nicole there back in the day.
"We’ve really done this, and it’s been a tradition, and I think it’s something that we don’t know if we’re going to do it again, ever," he went on. "So this could be, like, the end of our photo book. We don’t know. But we had one h--- of a scrapbook if we [don't come back]."
Meanwhile, Dannielynn herself admitted, "I kind of want to step away. I’m grateful for all the opportunities I’ve had and being able to talk with you and share stories, but I’m more of like a stay at home and hide under my blanket type of person."
Larry Birkhead said he and Dannielynn have had 'a great time' at creating memories together.
Nevertheless, both Larry and Dannielynn have years of fond memories together to look back on, including their occasional forays into the limelight together.
As the photographer noted, “At the end of the day, I think that we’ve had a great time at it. Never say never, but we’re out of colors and ideas."
