Steve Irwin to get Hollywood star

The late, great Crocodile Hunter Steve Irwin is set to get his own star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

The news was shared by his widow Terri Irwin and their two children Bindi and Robert on social media, with the family revealing Steve will be honoured for his wildlife conservation documentaries.

"I am beyond excited to share with you all that we have just received the news that Dad will be honoured with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame," 18-year-old Bindi wrote on Instagram alongside a gorgeous throwback pic of herself and her late father.

"Dad changed the world by reaching out to people through their television screens to bring them on the adventure of a lifetime. To have his name on a Hollywood Star means the world as we carry on his important work."

Meanwhile Robert, 13, shared a video of himself, Bindi and Terri finding out the news of Steve's star via a video.

The family, who are currently in the outback, were surrounded by emus and admitted they only had a small amount of wifi signal so they could watch the surprise news on the back of Steve's old ute.

"I am so proud of my dad getting a star on the walk of fame in Hollywood. He was the the best conservationist and inspired so many people and he was also the greatest dad in the world," Robert captioned the video.

"I am so excited that everything he loved and was passionate about will carry on."

Terri also shared her excitement on Twitter, posting the same video as Robert and writing, "Someone I love is a star..."

Steve tragically passed away in 2006 after being stung by a sting ray while filming an underwater documentary in Queensland.

Terri recently shared an emotional tribute to Steve, on what would have been their 25th wedding anniversary.

The 52-year-old took to Twitter to share the heartfelt post alongside a photo of herself and Steve kissing, with a lizard perched happily on top of their heads!

"Today would have been our 25th wedding anniversary. I miss you so very much, and I am grateful every day for the time we had together," Terri tweeted earlier in June.
