Steve Irwin 's family, including his daughter Bindi Irwin, have helped save more than 90,000 animals as the Australian bushfire continues to take lives.

Millions of animals have perished in the flames, and 24 people have been killed, with a further six missing in the state of Victoria.

With the devastation taking out much wildlife, 21-year-old Bindi has revealed that she and the staff at her family's zoo, Australian Zoo, have been treating a huge amount of animals who have been injured in the fires.

Taking to her official Instagram, the daughter of late TV personality Steve, told her 2.9million followers that her heart is "broken".

She wrote: "With so many devastating fires within Australia, my heart breaks for the people and wildlife who have lost so much.

"I wanted to let you know that we are safe. There are no fires near us at Australia Zoo or our conservation properties.

"Our Wildlife Hospital is busier than ever though, having officially treated over 90,000 patients. My parents dedicated our Australia Zoo Wildlife Hospital to my beautiful grandmother.

"We will continue to honour her by being Wildlife Warriors and saving as many lives as we can."

She captioned the pic: "We have such an incredible team who work day and night to protect gorgeous animals like Blossom.

"Devastatingly this beautiful girl didn’t make it even after working so hard to save her life. I want to thank you for your kind words and support.
