She's all grown up

​It's been eight years since Anna Nicole Smith passed away, leaving behind her little girl, Dannielynn Birkhead.
Although Dannielynn​, 8, was dealt two great tragedies at a young age—three days after she was born, her half-brother, Daniel Wayne Smith, who she's named after, overdosed—​and five months later, her mother died, Dannielynn​ has blossomed into a sweet young lady. 
"She is doing great, getting super tall and just has become this funny, intelligent, beautiful girl that I am so proud of," her dad, Larry Birkhead, told USA Today.​Dannielynn, who is the spitting image of her mother, is gradually following in Anna Nicole's modeling footsteps. At six she was featured in a Guess campaign, paying homage to her mom, the former Guess girl. She's also starred in Celebrity Wife Swap and an E! special Life After Anna Nicole.​
