"So proud of my amazing brother," Bindi wrote next to the snap.

"On New Years Day he got his appendix out with emergency surgery. Then, only a couple days later he was back playing monopoly with us. Now, we’re home @AustraliaZoo and he’s doing fantastic! Go Robert!!!" the former US Dancing With The Stars winner added.

On Friday Robert informed his followers that he had been rushed to hospital for emergency surgery earlier in the month.

Taking to Instagram, he revealed that he had his appendix removed following a health scare.

Be has reached out to The Australia Zoo for comment.

It comes after the budding photographer revealed to The Courier Mail in November that he wanted to forge his own path rather than follow in his famous father's footsteps.
