Smith's mother, Virgie Arthur, reportedly flew to the Bahamas and tried to gain access to the child while Stern, listed as the father on the infant's birth certificate, was grieving over Smith's unexpected death in Hollywood, Fla., the New York Post reported.
Stern was reunited with his child in front of cameras from "Entertainment Tonight" and "The Insider."
"This is the only piece of Anna I have left," said Stern as he scooped up Dannielynn.
"I wouldn't be here now, but I had to get back to Dannielynn. I know Anna loved her more then anything in the world," he said tearfully.

But Stern's sadness didn't last for long; it quickly turned to anger when the subject of Arthur came up.
"Anna despised that woman. As long as I have breath in my body, that woman will not see Dannielynn," Stern raged.
