Anna Nicole Smith's teenage daughter Dannielynn Birkhead showed off her remarkable resemblance to her late mother in a new  20/20 documentary special.

In the recently filmed footage, the 14-year-old retraces her mother's roots while on a road trip with her father Larry Birkhead, 48.

The special, which is called Tragic Beauty, compares the trip to Smith's life story after her untimely death at the age of just 39 in 2007 from a drug overdose.

At the time of Smith's death, Dannielynn was just five months old.

In the documentary, she and her father return to Smith's early Texas homes, the Daily Mail reports, as well as some of Smith's favorite places in Los Angeles.

"Dannielynn's a teenager now, and she doesn't really know a ton of things about her mom," Larry says.

"Anna should be remembered as this larger-than-life figure that was really a caring, giving person, a beautiful lady who loved her fans and loved her family."

Following the airing of the documentary, fans rushed to social media to comment on the striking similarity the 14-year-old bears to her late mother.

One Twitter user wrote: "It's crazy how much Anna Nicole Smith's daughter looks like her."

The documentary also featured extensive interviews with Smith's friends, whose real name was Vickie Lynn Hogan.

Frankie Rodriguez said that there were constantly "two people" battling within the early reality star.

"There was Vickie Lynn Marshall and Anna Nicole Smith," he explained. "Any kinda camera, you just yelled out her name, "Anna Nicole." When she turned around, it was on the spot; you saw Anna Nicole.

"The minute that camera left, it was a whole other person. She was back to Vickie Lynn," he continued. "I [am] very fortunate to have met and gotten to know Vickie Lynn… How she did it, I don't know. But whatever she was doing, it was making everybody watch."

ABC News Senior National Affairs Correspondent Deborah Roberts said in a statement that the documentary reports on the "dichotomy between who Anna Nicole was in the spotlight and who she was in private as Vickie Lynn Smith, her rise to fame, life in the limelight, her tragic death in Florida and the unanswered questions about her death."
