Billionaire mogul Steve Bing took his life one year ago and it seems as if the Bing family are doing their best to save as much money from his estate as possible for themselves. Steve himself fought to keep his only children in his inheritance but his father and sister are pulling all the stops to keep Damian and Kira away from their inheritance. Find out what Elizabeth and Damian had to say about the "callous" ruling here...

Both Elizabeth Hurley and her son Damian have now broken their silence since his paternal family officially disinherited him. Damian's father was billionaire mogul Steve Bing who tragically took his own life last summer.
Sadly, Bing's family have callously cut both of his biological children, Damian Hurley and Kira Bing, out of his inheritance.

Elizabeth Hurley and Steve Bing
Actress Elizabeth Hurley and billionaire Steve Bing dated in 2000 for a few years and the pair produced a son. This son, Damian, was born out of wedlock so the late Bing's parents convinced the judge to reverse Damian and his sister's inheritance.
Elizabeth told Daily Mail, "When Stephen took his own life, he died thinking his children were going to be taken care of. What Stephen wanted has now been callously reversed. I know Stephen would have been devastated..."

When Steve committed suicide by jumping out of his 27th-floor apartment, his father Dr. Peter Bing, set up a trust for his own grandchildren (from Steve's siblings) but was able to cut out Steve's only children Damian and Kira because they were born out of wedlock.
Originally, Damian and Kira were awarded by the courts to receive a share of their father's trust which would have amounted to $250 million but their grandfather quickly petitioned to have the ruling reversed. This went against what Steve himself fought for while he was alive. He and his legal team argued against his father Peter calling the attempts to cut out Damian and Kira "a sham" and "a massive money-grab" orchestrated by Peter and Steve's sister Mary...

Damian Hurley and Elizabeth Hurley
When Damian was first born, Steve denied his paternity until a DNA test confirmed he was in fact his father and he agreed to pay £100,000 yearly installments of child support. But ever-classy Elizabeth declined to accept the payments on the principle that she primarily wanted his acknowledgment of Damian and to be a part of his only son's life.
Damian's godfathers are David Beckham, Elton John, Denis Leary, and Elizabeth's ex-boyfriend Hugh Grant.
Much like his mother, Damian had a classy and brave response to being cut off from his father's family and estate. Check out the next slide to see what he said...

Damian Hurley
After he received the cruel news of his grandfather's actions, handsome actor and model Damian posted a lovely photo to Instagram. In the photo, he is surrounded by various members of his family and in the caption, he simply wrote:
"Grateful for my beautiful family, today and every day Xx."
The comment section is flooded with praise and support for the strong 19-year-old. One commenter wrote; "This is honestly the classiest way to handle this horrible thing that happened. So much respect." While another chimed in with: "When a man decides to renounce his own blood for the sake of money or pride, he loses more than he would ever know...a chance to be family to an amazing human being."
