The late "Crocodile Hunter" Steve Irwin will be honoured with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame for his contribution to the entertainment industry through wildlife documentaries.
Irwin, who died in September 2006, is the only posthumous member of the 2018 television class, which also includes The X-Files actress Gillian Anderson and 1970s Wonder Woman Lynda Carter.
"Beyond excited to share with you all that we have just received news that Dad will be honoured with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame," his daughter Bindi tweeted on Friday morning.
A video taken by Australia Zoo shows the moment she and brother Robert, along with mother Terri, reacted joyously to the news.
"He's going to Hollywood, guys!" Terri says.
Bindi says her father "changed the world" by bringing his conservation message into people's homes through his television programs.
The star nomination was sponsored by Visit Sunshine Coast.
