Bindi Irwin is "on the road to recovery" after having her appendix and 14 endometriosis lesions removed during emergency surgery.
The 26-year-old conservationist was rushed to New York's Lenox Hill Hospital last weekend after her appendix ruptured, forcing her to miss the annual Steve Irwin Gala in Las Vegas - which is held in honour of her late dad, crocodile hunter Steve Irwin - and Bindi has told fans how "lucky" she is after going under the knife.
