Fellow dads in the comments also praised Larry and shared their own concert experiences with their children, with one saying: “Happy Father’s Day to all the good dads out there. My biggest moment of bonding was taking mine to the Billie Eilish concert and making it to the front row. Security handed her a setlist. It’s great to do big things together when you [can].”
Larry has paid tribute to the mother of his daughter on several occasions over the years. In 2016, he opened-up about some of the difficulties raising a daughter as a single dad.

“You always want to make sure you’re doing the right thing that a mom would choose that a dad might not choose.

“There were days on the playground where she would say she wants her mom back … it’s tough for her to visit the grave. It makes me emotional thinking about everything we’ve been through. It’s just been a rollercoaster.”
To mark the 15th anniversary of Anna Nicole’s death, Larry shared a beautiful message to honour his ex.
He wrote: “Still remembering this one 15 years after her death. She was truly one of a kind. She struggled for love and acceptance. Just when she found a little piece of one or the other, life seemed to sabotage.

"Thanks to Anna's fans for helping keep her memory alive. We love you Anna Nicole."
