Bindi Irwin found a heartwarming way to honor her late father Steve Irwin over the weekend.

On Saturday, the Australian animal activist and her family hosted the annual Steve Irwin Gala Dinner in Los Angeles, California.

She wore a black, mock-neck sweater underneath a matching jacket, and tucked the top into a tiered, floral skirt. The 24-year-old also donned sparkle-encrusted flats and neutral makeup.

But it was her necklace that stole the show. On a thin gold chain, Bindi wore a portrait of her father set in an oval-shaped charm.

Bindi held the necklace up for photos while posing on the red carpet, and also took a moment to embrace it.

Her father was known around the world as an animal expert and television personality, who appeared both on late-night shows as a wildlife educator and in his own series, "The Crocodile Hunter."

He was killed by a stingray in 2006 at the age of 44.

In the years since his death, Bindi has continued to honor him both privately and publicly.

She's shared social-media posts about him, chosen a wedding dress that mirrored one her mom wore when marrying her dad, and re-created her parent's pregnancy photos.

Bindi and her husband Chandler Powell also gave their daughter Grace middle names that nod to the wildlife icon.

"Her middle names, Warrior Irwin, are a tribute to my dad and his legacy as the most incredible Wildlife Warrior," she previously wrote on Instagram.
