In a 2017 interview with Inside Edition, Birkhead opened up about how he tries to ensure his daughter lives a normal life.

Birkhead commented on trying to shield his daughter from news reports (and erroneous information online) about the legal battle between Smith's estate and the estate of Smith's late husband, oil billionaire J. Howard Marshall, which would determine whether Dannielynn would receive any money from Marshall's estate.

"We saw a video on YouTube that she was one of the ten richest kids in America," Birkhead told Inside Edition. "Then she wanted to go to the mall. And I'm like, 'No, it's not that. Trust me, it's not that.'"

According to Inside Edition, Smith's lawyers lost their last legal move to get money from the late oil tycoon's estate in 2014, seven years after Smith's death.
