'She's so strong and an amazing role model for women!!' wrote one fan.
Another follower commented: 'I'm so happy that you're doing okay! You're such an Inspiration to girls/ women.'
'Really glad to see you healing Bindi,' added a third fan.
It comes after Robert told People magazine that soon after the emergency Bindi was recovering in the hospital with their mother Terri by her side.
'She's going to be okay, but surgery - out of all the things we were ready for, that was not one of them,' Robert explained.
Bindi and Terri both missed the Steve Irwin charity event as a result of the health emergency.
Robert explained that Bindi had been suffering some pain in the lead up to the gala but had tried to soldier on.
'She's going to be okay, but surgery - out of all the things we were ready for, that was not one of them,' Robert explained.
'She came to Las Vegas and was ready to put on a brave face. She said, "I'm just going to tough it out."
'But the surgeon told her, "Your appendix is going. It's got to come out."'
Robert, meanwhile, was able to attend the gala on behalf of his family, with the annual event staged to raise money for their organisation Wildlife Warriors.
Funds raised from the gala support Wildlife Warriors, the conservation charity Steve and Terri founded in 2002.
Steve died in 2006 after being struck by a stingray while filming on the Great Barrier Reef.

Glenn Maxwell retires from ODI cricket as curtain falls on explosive career
Australian limited overs great Glenn Maxwell has called time on his decorated one-day international career to focus on next year's T20 World Cup and domestic competitions as injuries begin to take their toll. The explosive all-rounder announced his retirement from ODIs on Monday after 149 matches that included arguably the greatest innings of all time in the format. Maxwell amassed 3,990 runs at an average of 33.81 with four centuries, including an unbeaten double ton that lifted Australia to a critical victory over Afghanistan at the 2023 Cricket World Cup. Australia's World Cup hopes were on the brink of collapse when Maxwell arrived at the crease with the then five-time champions 91 for seven and well short of their 292-run target. Maxwell partnered with Pat Cummins in an incredible 202-run partnership with the all-rounder blasting 10 sixes and 21 boundaries in his 201 not out. The Australia captain contributed only 12 runs to the unbroken partnership as Maxwell took control and turned match-winner even while suffering from severe cramp in the stifling Mumbai heat. Australia reached Afghanistan's target with 25 balls to spare and went on to defeat the highly fancied India in the final in Ahmedabad. 'I think back to right at the start I was picked ahead of my time and out of the blue,' Maxwell said. 'I was just proud just to be playing a couple of games for Australia. I thought I was just going to have that. 'Since then, I have been able to go through the up and downs of being dropped, being brought back, playing in a few World Cups and being a part of some great teams.' Maxwell ends his 13-year ODI career with the second highest strike-rate of all men's batters 126.7, only behind West Indian powerhouse Andre Russell on 130.22.

The 36-year-old has also been a dangerous off-spinner with 77 wickets in ODIs and best figures of four for 40 against India in Rajkot as Australia fine-tuned for the 2023 World Cup.

'His level of natural talent and skill is remarkable. His energy in the field, underrated ability with the ball and longevity has been superb.' Maxwell will continue to be available to play T20s for Australia as well as in the Big Bash League and for other commitments around the globe. 'Glenn's ballistic batting has lit up the cricket world and been one of the cornerstones of Australia's continued success in the 50 over game, including his heroic role in the 2023 World Cup triumph,' said CA chief executive Todd Greenberg. 'As with other greats of the game, crowds have flocked to grounds just to watch Glenn bat and children have been inspired to pick up a bat after seeing him put opposition attacks to the sword with a breathtaking array of shots.'

Magda Szubanski gets emotional as she thanks family, friends and fans for their support after revealing her stage four cancer diagnosis: 'The wind beneath my wings'
Magda Szubanski has expressed immense gratitude in the wake of her devastating stage four cancer diagnosis. The beloved Aussie comedian, 64, who revealed she is battling Mantle Cell Lymphoma last week, took to Instagram to thank her family, friends and fans for the outpouring of support. Speaking in a video posted on Sunday, Magda said she had been 'overwhelmed' by the response to her announcement. 'I just wanted to say a massive thank you for all the love and support,' she said in the clip. 'It's just been so moving and, really, youse are the wind beneath my wings. Thank you very much, love you all. Sorry I can't reply this. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. 'It's pretty overwhelming, but I just feel so loved.' Last week, Magda shocked her followers when she revealed she was battling a rare and fast-moving blood cancer. She appeared on camera with a shaved head after beginning her treatment to fight the disease. 'Hello my lovelies. So, the head is shaved in anticipation of it all falling out in a couple of weeks because I have just been diagnosed with a very rare, very aggressive, very serious lymphoma,' she began. 'It is one of the nasty ones, unfortunately. But the good thing is I'm surrounded by beautiful friends and family and an incredible medical support team. 'Honestly, we have the best in the world here in Australia, particularly in Melbourne, so I feel very fortunate. 'It's pretty confronting. It is a full on. But new treatments keep coming down the pipeline all the time.' Magda said she has started a treatment called the Nordic protocol, which treats Mantle Cell Lymphoma by shrinking the tumours with a combination of drugs administered in five phases. It's known as the Nordic regimen based upon its clinical trial sites in Denmark and Norway. The actress explained she will be 'lying very low' due to her weak immune system. 'I won't sugar-coat it: it's rough. But I'm hopeful. I'm being lovingly cared for by friends and family, my medical team is brilliant, and I've never felt more held by the people around me,' she said. 'Please keep a distance though because I will be very immunocompromised. So I can't hug no more. 'Don't hug me, kiss me, or breathe anywhere near me! Wave enthusiastically from a safe distance and know I love you madly.' The Kath & Kim star said the cancer was discovered during a routine breast screening. 'This is an obscure cancer and was only discovered incidentally via a breast screen where they found my lymph nodes were up,' she explained. 'TBH, I've been feeling pretty rats**t for ages. So I asked for extra bloods and - voila! So the take away is - get tested and listen to your body! 'For now, just know I'm in good hands, good spirits - but I reserve my human right to be a cranky old moll. Love you all, Mags.'
