Damian wrote: 'I'm still trying to wrap my head around this… SW was a father figure to me for most of my formative years and was truly one the best men I've ever known.

"My heart is broken. Thinking of and sending love to all SW's family."

Summer is the daughter of Warne’s ex-wife Simone Callahan, who also recently shared unseen snaps of him in tribute. The former couple is also parents to Brooke, 24, and Jackson, 23.

Summer had revealed her shock at her father’s sudden death, saying:

“Moments before the world took you away from me, we were jamming to Summer of 69 and I’ve had the time of my life. Talking about how much you loved that song and seeing your smile light up the whole room while we danced and couldn’t stop laughing at each other. God you made me laugh dad," with a red heart emoji.

"I wish in your final moments before you went off to heaven and before you took your last breathe that I could tell you everything was going to be okay, and to hold your hand and tell you how much I love and look up to you," with a red heart emoji.

She also admitted that she took their time together for granted, adding: “Our time was robbed and I wish you would come back to me. You may not be alive dad, but you will forever live inside my heart, I will cherish the memories till my time is up on this earth and I am reunited with you again…”
