Fans struck by Anna Nicole Smith's teen daughter's resemblance to late star: 'Just like her mama'
Fans have been quick to point out the striking resemblance between the late Anna Nicole Smith and her teenage daughter Dannielynn Birkhead.
On Friday, the 15-year-old attended the Barnstable-Brown Gala at the Kentucky Derby with her father Larry Birkhead, a former partner of Smith's.
Larry met the model – who died of an accidental overdose of prescription drugs in 2007 – at the gala in 2003.

He has attended the event with their daughter every year since 2010.
This year, Dannielynn sported a black pantsuit that was previously worn to the event by Janet Jackson.
On Instagram, Larry shared a photo of his daughter and the pop icon at the event.

In February, Larry honoured the actress on the 15th anniversary of her death.
"She was truly one of a kind," he wrote on Instagram.

"She struggled for love and acceptance. Just when she found a little piece of one or the other, life seemed to sabotage.
"Today, I remember your heart, your soul and your beauty, both inside and out. Your love is alive still to this day, in the form of a truly one of a kind teenager with her Mom's smile, beauty and courage.
"Thanks to Anna's fans for helping keep her memory alive. We love you Anna Nicole."
