Hefner died in September last year.

"I miss him every day. He taught me a lot. He taught me love. He taught me kindness. He was so kind to everybody, so welcoming to everybody into his home, it didn't matter who you were," Harris, 31, told Australia's The Sunday Telegraph.

Since his death, Harris says she does not feel the need to be "dolled up" in lots of make-up because that is something she did just to be part of the Playboy image, dailymail.co.uk reports.

She said: "I've never been the heel and dress and full make-up, I've never been that kind of person. Maybe I felt like I had to be in the role I was in, being Playmate or being a part of Playboy, that I had to be dolled up.

"I think now I am more myself, which is the more down-to-earth, minimal makeup, that is where I feel the most comfortable."

Harris was believed to be a "pillar of strength" in Hefner's final years and stayed by his side through his "declining years".
