Brooke Hogan is breaking her silence to honor her father, pro wrestling legend Hulk Hogan, who died Thursday at age 71 after suffering a sudden cardiac arrest.

“My dad’s blood runs through my veins. His eyes shine through my children. And our bond has never broken, not even in his final moments,” the younger Hogan, 37, wrote in a tribute she shared on Instagram on Tuesday.

“We had a connection deeper than words, one that spanned lifetimes. I am so grateful I knew the real version of him. Not just the one the world viewed through a carefully curated lens,” she continued.

The former “Hogan Knows Best” star, who had been estranged from her father in recent years, said she and the wrestler “shared a quiet, sacred bond, one that could be seen and felt by anyone who witnessed us together.”

“When he left this earth, it felt like part of my spirit left with him. I felt it before the news even reached us,” she went on. “He used to remind me, ‘All of this is temporary and I’ll always find my way back to you.’ I truly believe that — we will find each other in every lifetime.”
