Kim Kardashian Celebrates Dad's 73rd Birthday Telling How He Surprised Her With A Car At 16

Kim Kardashian West celebrated what would have been her father Robert's 73rd birthday on Wednesday by sharing a 1996 video of him from her 'Sweet 16' bash.

'The car is outside if you want to go look at it,' the Armenian-American attorney announced before blindfolding his princess.

'Happy birthday! You're the best. You are gorgeous. You deserve this automobile, and it better be cleaned every week!'

Robert - who's buried at Inglewood Park Cemetery - divorced Kim's momager Kris in 1991 after having four children during their 13-year marriage.

Kardashian never lived to see his family's E! series, which premiered in 2007 eight months after Kim's 2003 sex tape with Ray J was 'leaked' to Vivid Entertainment.
