The heartfelt tribute comes just weeks after what would have been Burningham's 70th birthday - as his daughter shared a commemorative post. 

In the carousel of photos she shared to her Instagram account, the 33-year-old star wrote, 'Happy birthday to ya. Happy birthday to ya. HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!

'It’s a big one! My dad would have been 70 today, you are loved, missed, and forever cherished, you freaking stud,' she wrote. 

She added old images of the family as she reminisced over the good times she spent with him as a child. 

Just two days after his passing in 2018, Lala took to her Instagram account to announce the heartbreaking news to her followers.

'Rest in paradise, my sweet dad. The world seems to be spinning much slower. I’ve never felt so lost. I've never felt so sad. My world has crumbled.' wrote the then 28-year-old in the caption.

The Bravo star has always been vocal about how close she is to her family.

In 2015 she told Heavy: 'We talked about literally everything- we still do, which sometimes my dad is like, okay I don't need to know EVERYTHING!

'My family is extremely close. I don't have family in Utah except for immediate family so it is kind of like 'we all we got!'

And in 2016 the reality star - who has often found herself at the center of drama on the hugely popular show - wrote about her family's support on Twitter.

'My family is proud of me and will support me through anything & errythang-4 those of u who are wondering how they feel about my "behavior."' she tweeted.

The blonde beauty is currently expecting her second child conceived via surgical insemination. 

 Lala's own legacy lies in her three=year-old daughter Ocean Kent, whom she welcomed March 2021 with her ex-fiancé, film producer Randall Emmett.

She is currently expecting her second conceived via surgical insemination as she navigates life as a single mother. 

She told Cosmopolitan: 'It was such a strange thing that was happening because everyone would tell me, "You're going to find somebody." And I got to thinking, "Why does my wanting more children need to involve another person?"'
