Shane Warne's daughter's candid admission

Shane Warne's daughter, Brooke, has opened up about how her family has coped with the devastating loss, one year after the cricket legend's passing.

The 24-year-old candidly told Stellar Magazine that, despite missing him deeply, her family, including her siblings Jackson and Summer, as well as her mother Simone Callinan, have remained close-knit in the wake of the tragedy. 

"As a family, we've always stuck together. We've always had each other's backs. We're going okay," she told the publication. 

"Obviously, I miss him and think about him every second – that's never going to change," she continued. 

"I think we just learn to accept life, that this is our life now, and do the best by him and make him proud... and be positive and enjoy everything. You don't know what's going to happen. 

"We just had to deal with what comes our way. We do it together, and that's the important thing," she concluded. 

This comes just days after loved ones took to social media to honour the legendary cricketer on what would've been his 54th birthday.

Brooke took to Instagram stories to share a throwback photo of herself and her dad.

"Your day King, Happy birthday dad," she captioned the photo posted on Wednesday the 13th with a love heart. 

Another photo showed her indulging in a few of her dad's favourite snacks  including potato scallops, a donut, lollies and a bag of Musk sticks. 

"Birthday lunch for dad. All his faves," she captioned. 

Shane's son, Jackson also took to Instagram to honour his late dad, with a video about how he planned to mark the day. 

“Today would have been dad’s 54th birthday – happy birthday dad,” he said in the clip.

“And I thought instead of being sad or posting a story in black and white with a big caption with things that are quite obvious, I’m going to do what dad would have wanted me to do which is be happy and do things that make me happy."

He then listed three things that he used to do with his dad including getting Maccas, watching Two and a Half Men, and playing roulette.

“Roulette is on par for me and dad with poker and we just loved cheering on a 23 for a spin. So we’ll go downstairs and see if we can hit a 23. Happy birthday dad," he concluded his video. 

Shane's younger daughter Summer honoured her late dad with another throwback picture posted on Instagram stories with the caption: "Happy Birthday Dad. I love and miss you more than words can describe ❤️" 

This is the second birthday the family have had to endure without Shane, who passed away while on holiday in Thailand.
