Summer Warne has shared a tribute to her late father, Shane Warne, three years on from his death.
The 23-year-old posted a three image carousel on TikTok, while taking part in a new trend where TikTokers remember their loved ones who have died.
“It’s okay I’ll just call my dad,” Summer wrote on the first slide, alongside a selfie.
The second slide showed a photo of Shane holding the family’s beloved dog.
“Hello, I’m her dad Shane. I passed away three years ago,” it reads. “She hates that she wasn’t with me in my final moments.”
“Every time she sees a G-Wagon, she hopes it me,” the post continues. “She feels like our time together was robbed.”
“Every time something exciting happens, she wants me to tell me all about it — I’m there SJ, just not physically.”
The third slide showed Summer and the family dog visiting Shane’s grave.
In March 2022, Shane died from a heart attack while he was holidaying in Thailand. He was 52.
The following month, Summer shared some old photos of her late father on Instagram, alongside a loving tribute.
“Miss your smiley face every day Dad ❤️,” she captioned the post which included two photos of the father and daughter, smiling and enjoying some sunshine by the pool.

Her big brother Jackson was quick to share his love for the tribute, commenting a red heart emoji. As was older sister Brooke who penned: “Beautiful summer, so special 🤍.”
Shane’s ex-partner Liz Hurley also commented multiple heart emojis upon seeing the post.
The tribute came one day after Jackson shared in the joy of a horse named after his dad winning his first race.

Sharing footage of the moment of glory, the SAS star wrote: “Dad’s horse ‘sacred oath’ won his first race yesterday. Nice gesture from the jockey Noel Callow. 🙏🏼❤️🐎.”
Known for many legendary cricket moments, including his famous Ball of the Century in 1993, Shane always believed the biggest achievement in his life was his kids.
“Wow. What a day!!!” Shane wrote in a heartfelt Instagram story when Summer graduated from high school in 2020. “All three of my beautiful children have now completed year 12.”
“Which means no more school fees, drop offs, pick ups and fighting for a car park, parent teacher nights, sports all over melb x 3 on weekends, school plays, events, making lunches, sports gear, blazer and being a taxi – oh and an ATM,” he continued.
Speaking to the 7:30 Report in 2018, Shane said his biggest regret was possibly letting his kids down.
“It’s pretty hard to relive some things when you’ve let down your children and your family, embarrassed them at times,” he admitted.
“To hurt my children who are the most important thing in my life was really tough. The effect I had on my family, on my children. The effect I had on my children was I let them down. And I have to live with that for the rest of my life.”
