Irwin's wife, Terri, and their children, Bindi and Robert, were on hand for the celebration. Fittingly, the family posed with a giant snake with the star.

"We are so grateful for everyone's support, it just means the world to us as a family," said Bindi Irwin during the celebration. "We try to continue dad's legacy each and every day and we want to make sure everything he lived and died for continues on into the future."
