Just the day before, the Irwin family appeared in good spirits, posing for photos in their signature khaki attire. Bindi even shared a picture on social media expressing excitement for the gala. She also posted photos with her mother earlier on Saturday, showing no indication of any health issues.
While details surrounding Bindi’s condition remain limited, Robert assured attendees that she is recovering well.
