Hulk Hogan's daughter, Brooke, has opened up on her troubled relationship with the wrestling legend in a candid statement in the wake of his death.
The WWE icon died at the age of 71 on Thursday after suffering cardiac arrest at his home in Clearwater, Florida. Emergency services rushed him to a local hospital but Hogan was ultimately declared dead at the medical facility.
His passing came just months after his bitter family feud with his daughter and ex-wife Linda took a deep emotional toll on him.
Linda accused the former wrestler of tearing their family apart as she claimed Brooke had cut off both parents over Hogan's actions.
However, Brooke, in a heartbreaking and emotional statement, candidly reflected on her relationship with her father, insisting that despite their differences, their bond was never broken.
'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,' she began in a six-page message on social media 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. We 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.'
In an astonishing video on social media shared back in March, Linda first accused her former husband of being a 'complete liar' and 'sex addict'.
She also claimed their family is 'in the worst mess' after Brooke cut both parents out of her life.
Brooke later retaliated, hitting back at her mom by alleging that her dad was not the only reason behind the shocking family divide, claiming she was 'verbally and mentally abused' during her childhood.
'Sadly, it would frequently turn physical. And sometimes it's not by the person you would assume, abuse comes in all shapes and sizes,' Brooke alleged.
After Brooke's stunning response, Linda then took a dramatic U-turn by defending Hogan and branding her daughter a 'narcissist .'
