The widow of crocodile wrangler and Netflix star Chris "Willow" Wilson has shared an emotional tribute to her late husband on the one year anniversary of his death.

Mr Wilson, one of the stars of the Outback Wrangler TV series, was killed last year after the Robinson R44 helicopter he was travelling in crashed during a crocodile egg-collecting mission in the Northern Territory's remote west Arnhem Land. 

The only other occupant of the helicopter, pilot Sebastian Robinson, was seriously injured in the crash. 

In a statement shared with the ABC today, Danielle Wilson said the year since her 34-year-old husband's death "in the most tragic of circumstances" had been the "the longest and shortest" of her family's lives. 

"Time has stood still, yet we have blinked and a year has gone by without our greatest love," she wrote.

"It has been the worst, toughest and most traumatising year.

"Life without you is not the same and the world is a lesser place without you in it."

Ms Wilson said the past 12 months had seen her family experience "floods of tears, times of reflection, anger, helplessness and overwhelming, all-consuming grief".
