Steve Irwin To Receive Star On The Hollywood Walk Of Fame 12 Years After His Tragic Death

In a morning ceremony on April 26, Irwin will be the 2,635th person to receive a star on the walk. Talking to Channel 7, Terri, Bindi and Bob Irwin confirmed they’d all be present at the ceremony.

The spot will be on Hollywood Boulevard in front of the Iguana Vintage Clothing Shop, which is cute.

Really, [this is] a culmination of a lot of work from a lot of people who believe that Steve should totally get this recognition,” Terri told 7 News.

One of those people was Russell Crowe, who Terri said wrote a letter of recommendation to the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce, the overlords who determine which stars deserve a spot on the coveted walk.

Also cute: a couple of Australian animals will be present at the ceremony, though Irwin specified that they already lived in Los Angeles.

Steve Irwin passed away 12 years ago in 2006 when the 44-year-old was killed by a stingray during filming on the Great Barrier Reef.
