He's the Australian wildlife warrior who was tragically killed by a stingray in 2006.

And now Steven Irwin's legacy will be immortalised in a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

His family, including wife Terri, daughter Bindi and son Robert, shared a video of themselves receiving the exciting news to social media on Friday.

The family watched on a laptop as they received the news, standing around one of Steve's old Utes while on their conservation property in Western Queensland.

Terri, Robert and Bindi were clearly ecstatic at the news, with the video showing the trio letting out an excited cry before embracing each other.

Robert, 13, exclaims 'that's amazing!' while Bindi, 18, and Terri, 52, scream and jump in excitement.

Bindi informs the camera 'Dad's getting a star on the walk of fame!' while Terri can be seen throwing her hands in the air and is noticeably in shock.

'I can't believe it,' the startled mother-of-two says, as emus in the background appeared curious of the commotion.

She jokes, 'He's going to Hollywood!' before embracing her two children around the shoulders.

A shocked Bindi adds, 'that's so exciting, can you believe it?'

Terri shared the touching video to her Twitter, captioning it 'someone I love is a star...'

'I am beyond excited to share with you all that we have just received the news that Dad will be honoured with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame,' she wrote in caption alongside it.

'Dad changed the world by reaching out to people through their television screens to bring them on the adventure of a lifetime. To have his name on a Hollywood Star means the world as we carry on his important work.'

Robert also shared the clip, writing: 'I am so proud of my dad getting a star on the walk of fame in Hollywood.

'He was the the best conservationist and inspired so many people and he was also the greatest dad in the world. I am so excited that everything he loved and was passionate about will carry on,' he added.
