Antony, an Australian psychologist and academic, tragically died of a heart attack in a hotel in Singapore in September 2014. 

The Academy Award-winning actress has previously remembered her father as a generous and wise man, who cared little for material possessions. 

In 2018, Nicole told The Weekend Australian her father was the Australian she most admired.

'[He] was always such a guiding light in my life,' she said of her beloved father, who was an esteemed academic in the field of mental health. 

'He dedicated himself to helping others, especially young people dealing with depression, anxiety and stress. 

'I miss him so much and remain in awe of his work and aspirations,' she added.

Nicole's most recent message came after she posted another heartwarming birthday tribute to her father in December last year.

'Today would've been papa's 80th. Miss you papa, love you so much,' she wrote alongside a black-and-white picture of Antony.  

Taking to Instagram Stories shortly afterwards, the Moulin Rouge star praised her father's humanitarian work.

'My papa was such an advocate for human rights,' she wrote over the same picture.

'It also happens to be his birthday today. Happy birthday, Papa. I miss you,' she added.
