Pierce Brosnan took to Instagram on Sunday to mark the seventh anniversary of his daughter Charlotte Brosnan's passing.
The former James Bond star shared a snap from his Hawaii home taken by his wife Keely Shaye Smith, which revealed a touching tribute to the late mother of two.
“Here’s looking at you kid,” the 67-year-old captioned the photo. “In remembrance of Charlotte and with happy birthday wishes for my darling Marley May.”
The actor referred to his granddaughter, who turned five this month.

Charlotte died on June 28, 2013, at age 41 after a battle with ovarian cancer, U.K.’s DailyMail reported. According to the outlet, it’s the same disease that claimed the life of her mother Cassandra Harris -- Brosnan’s first wife -- in 1991 when she was 43.
Charlotte is survived by her husband and two children.
The outlet shared Brosnan became Charlotte’s adopted father when he married Harris in 1980. She had two children, Charlotte and Christopher, 46, from a previous marriage to producer Dermot Harris, who passed away in 1986.
Harris and Brosnan’s son Sean, 36, is the father of Marley May, whose middle name is Cassandra in tribute to her late grandmother.

A year after Charlotte’s death, Brosnan reflected on losing the two women who influenced his life at the Stand Up To Cancer telethon.
“To watch someone you love have his or her life eaten away bit by bit by this insidious disease, that kind of sorrow becomes an indelible part of your psyche,” he said at the time, as quoted by the outlet.
“I held the generous, strong, beautiful hand of my first wife Cassie as ovarian cancer took her life much too soon,” he continued. “And just last year, I held the hand of my funny, wonderful daughter Charlotte before she died from this wretched, inherited disease.”
Brosnan found love again and met Smith in 1994. The couple tied the knot in 2001 and share two sons.

In 2018, Brosnan told Closer Weekly Smith has helped him overcome personal tragedy.
“You have to trust and follow your heart,” said the former 007 actor at the time. “And try to meet the best people in life. When Keely looks at me, I go weak. I love her vitality, her passion. She has this strength that I wouldn’t be able to live without… I found a great woman in Keely. Not if I searched a million times over would I find one as good.
“There are so many lessons you learn each day and each passing year,” he added. “It’s important to have good faith in yourself and to know yourself as much as you can, and then to go out there and do good things.”
