Rolf Harris' dying words to his daughter have been revealed following the disgraced entertainer's death earlier this month.

On Tuesday, it was revealed that the Australian star and convicted sex offender had passed away secretly two weeks ago at the age of 93.

As per the Daily Mail, Harris has been confined to his home in Berkshire, United Kingdom, where he received round-the-clock care following a neck cancer diagnosis. Harris died on May 10, and was later cremated in a private ceremony.

Harris' death certificate, later registered at Windsor and Maidenhead Council, was obtained by The Mail and other outlets and revealed that the official causes of death were listed as "metastatic squamous cell carcinoma of neck" - the medical term for neck cancer - and "frailty of old age".

Per news.com.au, Harris' health started to decline late last year following a throat cancer diagnosis.

On top of this, Harris also lived with his wife of 65 years, 91-year-old Alwen Hughes, who also requires 24-hour care for Alzheimer’s disease.

A neighbor also informed The Telegraph that Harris’s health started to decline even further following the death of his beloved poodle, Bumble, in October.

Neighbor Portia Wooderson told the outlet: "Only carers and nurses, who care for him 24 hours, come and go. I’m told he can’t eat anymore."

Now, News Corp Australia has reported Harris' dying words to his daughter, Bindi - revealing that a source close to the disgraced star called on his daughter to look after her mom.

The outlet has exclusively reported that a source has revealed that Harris told Bindi: "Look after your mom. I always believed we would go on longer together but, if I go first, promise you’ll take good care of your mom."

Harris was once one of the UK and Australia's most popular performers - known for songs like 'Tie Me Kangaroo Down Sport' and presenting gigs on shows like Animal Hospital.

He was even commissioned by the BBC to paint a portrait of the late Queen Elizabeth II for the late monarch's 80th birthday.

However, his reputation was destroyed in 2014 following allegations that he sexually assaulted several women and girls.

The disgraced star was released from the UK's Stafford Prison in 2017, after being convicted of 12 counts of indecent assault against four female victims - one as young as eight years old - during the 70s and 80s, per News Corp Australia. He served just three years.
