Dannielynn Birkhead and her dad Larry Birkhead had quite the special milestone to celebrate over the weekend.

On Saturday, September 7, Dannielynn marked her milestone 18th trip around the sun, itself exactly 18 years and five months since the passing of her mother Anna Nicole Smith on February 8, 2007 aged 39.

Since her mother's passing, Dannielynn was largely raised out of the spotlight in her father's home state of Kentucky, though he just made an exception to their penchant for privacy to share a glimpse of the birthday girl's celebrations.

Larry took to Instagram and revealed that he and Dannielynn spent her birthday weekend in Los Angeles, where she underwent quite the "spooky" makeover.

He first shared a photo of her posing by the beach, wearing a spider web themed black chiffon dress, showing off her tousled blonde waves, metallic smokey-eye and ultra-dark lipstick.

More photos followed of the birthday weekend, including one of Dannielynn posing with someone dressed up as Beetlejuice as the father-daughter duo attended a Beetlejuice themed event, plus one of her getting her goth-esque make-up done.

Just like her mom! You've done a great job of raising her!" as well as: "She's just a beautiful precious girl. You are doing so good dad!"
