Even though Anna Nicole Smith died in February, Larry Birkhead is keen for her to be a presence in their daughter Dannielynn’s life.

Larry’s sister Judy told Us Weekly: “Larry says that it’s important Dannielynn knows about her mom.”

“He’s always telling Dannielynn how much he loved Anna and how great she was.”

Larry has decorated their LA home with photos of Anna Nicole so that Dannielynn can learn to recognise her: “He’ll point at pictures and show Dannielynn videos of her too.”

He also has a collection of items, including letters and artwork, that Anna Nicole created for Dannielynn before she died: “When Anna was pregnant, she painted a lot for Dannielynn. Larry will give her those [when she grows up].”
