"Oh my god, are you alright?" she asked her father after he resurfaced. "Yeah, I'm okay," replied De Niro while swimming.
A yacht employee informed Drena that her father had jumped an impressive 36 feet from the ship to the water. Her reaction was one of awe, exclaiming, "Wow."
In addition to the video of De Niro's daring leap, Drena's tribute also included photos of her father with her late son, Leandro, who passed away at the age of 19 from an accidental overdose.
