She then asked her famous dad “oh my god, are you alright?”

“Yeah, I’m okay,” De Niro replied while swimming.

Drena was then told by someone that De Niro jumped 36 feet from the ship to the water.

“Wow,” she said in response.

Drena’s Instagram tribute to her dad also featured photos of De Niro with Drena’s late son Leandro, who died at age 19 from an accidental overdose after taking pills that were laced with fentanyl last July.

“Happy 81st Bday to my Dad and #1 ride or die .. Love you with all my ♥️♥️♥️ #BobbyD forever ✨👑✨,” Drena wrote in her caption.

De Niro shares Drena with ex-wife Diahnne Abbott. The former couple also have a son, Raphael, 47.

The “Meet the Parents” actor has five other children: twins Julian and Aaron, 28, son Elliot, 26, and daughters Helen Grace, 12, and Gia, who was born in April 2023.

Last year, De Niro’s family experienced tragedy when Leandro accidentally overdosed.

De Niro issued a statement to Page Six after learning the news of his grandson’s death at the time.

“I’m deeply distressed by the passing of my beloved grandson Leo,” he said at the time. “We’re greatly appreciative of the condolences from everyone. We ask that we please be given privacy to grieve our loss of Leo.”

Drena announced her son’s death in an emotional Instagram tribute to her “beautiful sweet angel.”

“I have loved you beyond words or description from the moment I felt you in my belly,” the actress and filmmaker captioned a throwback photo. “You have been my joy my heart and all that was ever pure and real in my life.”

De Niro opened up about the tragedy in an interview with People earlier this year, saying Leandro’s death came as a “shock.”

“[I] never thought it would happen. And I just then started thinking about all the things I could have, should have done maybe with him,” the “Killers of the Flower Moon” star said.

“I don’t know if that would’ve made a difference. And so that’s always playing through my mind. It shouldn’t have happened,” he added.
