The photographer took to the shared Instagram account he has with their daughter and posted a gorgeous photo of Anna Nicole which was originally shared by her estate. In the image, the late Playmate is posing next to balloons while holding her dog.

Anna Nicole died in 2007 aged 39
A second said: "I'm sure this day is very difficult for you every year. You're doing SUCH a wonderful job with that beautiful little girl…what an amazing example you are for single parents (and all parents, really) everywhere. Thinking of you and your baby girl today."
Anna Nicole was an American socialite who found fame in the early 1990s when she married Howard J. Marshall who was 63 years older than her. "I'm not a gold digger," insisted Anna at the time.
"I could have married him a week after we met or two weeks after we met. I could have married him years before. And I didn't. I didn't. I went out and I made something of myself. And people don't appreciate that. I wanted to marry him because he loved me and he took care of me."

Dannielynn was born in 2006 and initially, Howard was listed on her birth certificate as the father. However, Larry claimed paternity and a DNA test later confirmed that he was indeed the little girl’s dad.
Tragically, five months later, in February 2007, Anna was found unresponsive in a Florida hotel room and was pronounced dead in the hospital. She was just 39.
