Bindi Irwin undergoes emergency surgery after showing signs of 'discomfort' and 'pain'

"She came to Las Vegas and was ready to come to the gala, put on a brave face in a lot of discomfort and a lot of pain and said, 'Nope, I'm just going to tough it out, I'm going to go for it,'" he added. "But the surgeon said, 'No, your appendix is going. That thing's gotta come out.' Health has to come first. She's very sad. She's devastated that she and Mom can't be here, but I know she'll make a speedy recovery."

That same day, Bindi took to social media to share some photos of her family in Las Vegas to honor her father, the late crocodile hunter. 

Fox News Digital reached out to a representative for Bindi Irwin, but they did not immediately respond.

This is not the first health scare Bindi has encountered. In 2023, the mom of one revealed an endometriosis diagnosis that also required surgery. 

"My life now looks completely different than it did before I had my surgery," Irwin told Fox News Digital at the time. "Over the 10 years that I was really battling with endo[metriosis] without knowing it, I would get progressively worse every week and in the end, before my surgery, I was barely able to get out of bed." 

Irwin, who described the pain she experienced as a "stabbing feeling" and "really scary," revealed in March that she endured the painful condition for 10 years and struggled for a proper diagnosis. 

On her social media post announcing the news, the 25-year-old shared that she had 37 lesions and a "chocolate cyst" removed from her body, and noted that the first words from her doctor during recovery were, "'How did you live with this much pain?'" 

"And now on the other side of surgery, I mean, I'm going for daily zoo walks with my family. I'm able to go to our management meetings and check up on our animals and do the filming work that I love and play with my daughter. And it is just so wonderful. I feel like I see the world in a new way now. I'm able to actually do things again."

"It does feel like a second chance at life," she added.
