Dylan Efron paid a heartwarming tribute to his brother, brother Zac Efron, and their sister Olivia.
The reality star lit up Dancing with the stars‘ ‘Dedication Night’ to which his half-sister dances Rewrite the starsoriginally sung by Zac and Zendaya The greatest showman.
The Efron siblings gracefully began the contemporary routine, twirling together before Dylan lifted the five-year-old in an impressive and smooth move.
The energy increased as the content creator’s professional partner Daniella Karagach took over the stage with a high-octane, athletic routine, as the little one stormed safely to the side stage.
Towards the end, Olivia returned to hug her older brother, drawing thunderous applause from both the live audience and online fans.
Fans were quick to express their admiration, with one writing, “Oh my god! I know he’s dedicating this dance to his little sister, but he’s doing it quietly for both siblings. We got ‘Rewrite the Stars’ from his older brother Zac, and now he’s dancing with his little sister. So precious!”
“You just know she’ll remember it forever!! [teary eyes emoji] I bet they will recreate it as she grows,” wrote another.
A third said: “Oh my god I’m literally crying again, Dylan and his beautiful sister dancing together was absolutely everything. Dylan did a great job tonight!”
In a pre-dance rehearsal video, Dylan shared his feelings about his relationship with Olivia: “I didn’t expect to be a big brother. She is 5 and I am 33. But I was immediately inseparable from her. She is everything to me. I want to show her that she can live her life with confidence.”
He also revealed he had paid tribute to 37-year-old Zac, explaining: “He always looked out for me and did things that were so selfless. I want to be that for Olivia.”
Dylan first announced Olivia’s participation in his “Dedication Night” routine on Instagram on Sunday.
