Brooke Hogan<\/strong><\/a> is paying tribute to her late father, Hulk Hogan<\/strong><\/a>, while at the beach.<\/p>\n

\u201cNeeded some time with my thoughts, my daddy and the ocean he loved so much,\u201d Brooke, 38, wrote via Instagram<\/a> on Wednesday, May 20. \u201cEvery wave hit my heart like a memory that felt like it was yesterday. The waves carried the bass in his voice, the salt water felt like his hugs. The smell of the ocean smelled like so many days on the boat we spent together.\u201d<\/p>\n

She continued, \u201cI remember him whisking me across the surf like King Triton holding his Little Mermaid\u2026 if I could breathe underwater, I\u2019d spend forever under the sea if it meant being that much closer to him. The tears were endless today. \ud83c\udf0a.\u201d<\/p>\n

Alongside the message, Brooke shared a sun-kissed bikini photo and throwback images of Hulk. In one pic, Hulk smiled as he raised his hand while driving a boat.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tBrooke Hogan has reacted to the death of her father, wrestling icon Hulk Hogan.\u00a0 \u201cMy dad\u2019s blood runs through my veins,\u201d Brooke, 37, wrote via Instagram on Tuesday, July 29. \u201cHis eyes shine through my children. And our bond has never broken, not even in his final moments. We had a connection deeper than words, [\u2026]\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

News broke in July 2025 that Hulk died of a heart attack. He was 71. Medical documents obtained by Us Weekly<\/em> at the time revealed that Hulk had a history of Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL).<\/p>\n

Hulk, who was estranged from Brooke before his death, left his daughter out of the will<\/a>. (Hulk welcomed Brooke with ex-wife Linda Hogan<\/strong><\/a>, whom he wed in 1983. The couple, who also shared Nick Hogan<\/strong>, divorced in 2009. He was later married to Jennifer McDaniel<\/strong> from 2010 to 2022 before tying the knot with Sky Daily<\/strong> in 2023.)<\/p>\n

\u201cHis decision is no surprise to me,\u201d Brooke told TMZ in September 2025. \u201cIt\u2019s what I asked for, I stand by it with no regrets. My dad knows I\u2019m a hard worker and I have been surviving without his money for a long, long time.\u201d<\/p>\n

Brooke has since released a song<\/a> called \u201cWanna Go Back\u201d about Hulk, which has received criticism from fans suggesting she\u2019s cashing in on his legacy as a wrestling icon given their estrangement. She addressed the song\u2019s haters via Instagram, replying to one person who said in the comments section in December 2025, \u201cSo u haven\u2019t talked to him in years but unfortunately when he passes away u wanna do tributes I mean that\u2019s sad stuff.\u201d<\/p>\n
