Before her death, Smith was embroiled in a paternity lawsuit, claiming her partner Howard K. Stern was Dannielynn's father.

However, two months after Smith's passing, DNA tests confirmed that Larry Birkhead was Dannielynn’s biological father, per the Daily Mail.

Smith's career was marked by her rise to fame after posing for Playboy in 1992 and replacing Claudia Schiffer in a high-profile Guess jeans ad campaign.

Her personal life, however, was fraught with challenges, including substance abuse and high-profile legal battles.

Smith died from an accidental drug overdose at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood, Florida, in February 2007, as confirmed by the Broward County Medical Examiner's report, cited by Business Insider.

Dannielynn's father shared in an Instagram post, accompanied by a series of photos highlighting the festivities of the 18-year-old's birthday.

"Dannielynn had a great time celebrating her 18th birthday with friends and family by attending the @beetlejuiceafterlife.exp and @beetlejuicemovie which made for an out of this world experience," Larry wrote.

For the event, Dannielynn embraced the spooky theme, donning a black sheer dress adorned with spiderweb designs.

She completed the look with dark lipstick, eyeliner, and her blonde hair styled in loose waves, parted slightly in the center with bangs.

Dad Larry added: "Of course, Dannielynn found a Hot Topic store to get a spooky outfit for all the fun! Happy 18th Birthday Dannielynn!"


Larry also provided a breakdown of his daughter's birthday ensemble, tagging brands and products from Hot Topic, her makeup artist, and the Beetlejuice event in his post.

The celebration featured a variety of memorable moments, including Dannielynn posing by the ocean in her gothic-themed outfit and alongside a performer dressed as Beetlejuice.

Other images showed her getting her makeup done and smiling for the camera at the entrance to the immersive Beetlejuice movie experience.


In a touching birthday tribute, Larry shared a throwback photo of Dannielynn as a toddler, set to the song 'Humble and Kind' by Luke Laird, Lori McKenna, and Barry Dean.

"Happy 18th Birthday Dannielynn! You are my entire heart. I love you more than I can ever express," Larry wrote.

"May you continue on your journey being 'humble and kind' and spread the love that you were given to many others. I am beyond proud of you. Happy 18th Birthday - Love, Dad."
