Erika Kirk, the widow of 31-year-old Charlie Kirk, has posted a heart-melting video of her 3-year-old daughter showing excitement after spotting her late father on a roadside poster.
The bittersweet clip has gone viral across social media platforms, and just on Erika’s Instagram handle, it has been viewed over 11 million times.
The clip is both heartwarming and heartbreaking, as netizens are now expressing sympathy for the family and paying tribute to Charlie Kirk, alongside reflecting on the tragic loss.
Conservative Charlie Kirk, founder of Turning Point USA (TPUSA), was assassinated on September 10, when he was addressing the crowd at Utah Valley University.
Erika Kirk, who has now taken over the reins of her late husband Charlie Kirk’s mission as the CEO of Turning Point USA, shared this heartwarming post on Monday, captioning it, “Her saying your name, as she witnesses all you’ve built and continue to build, proves that love never dies—it just changes form. It breathes through our children.”
She added further, calling their daughter part of Charlie’s lasting legacy, “This is her legacy also. And as she grows up and continues to say your name, I’ll be reminding her that each time, heaven leans in to listen.”
Erika concluded the post with a moving tribute, “I love you, Charlie baby. I’m so proud of you. We all are so proud of you.”
The clip has moved thousands online, with many hailing it as a poignant reminder of lasting love and legacy.
One user commented on the post, “THIS…aw GiGi! Your dad was a great man! Your mom is the best, you’re in good hands!”
Another commenter wrote, “beautiful firl. I often think of the video of her and Charlie in the toy store. We’re praying for you and those precious children. Holding up your arms in the spirit.”
A third user commented, "You are going to hear from millions of us about how much we LOVE your dad and how he changed our lives!"
The suspect, Tayler Robinson, 22, was arrested on September 12, 2025, a day after the assassination of Charlie Kirk.
According to court records, he faces multiple charges, including aggravated murder, felony discharge of a firearm causing serious bodily injury, and obstruction of justice, after a DNA match and incriminating messages linked him to the scene.
Prosecutors are seeking the death penalty for Robinson, the main suspect, who they believe targeted Krik because of political views he deemed hateful.
