After winning the finale of popular ABC reality TV show "Dancing With the Stars," the season 21 winner Bindi Irwin recently returned back to Australia.

The 17-year-old Bindi Irwin was accompanied by her mother Terri and brother Robert who were present with her throughout her dance journey on "Dancing With the Stars" season 21.

News.co.au uploaded a video which showed Irwin with her mom, brother and boyfriend Chandler Powell walking out from the airport.

According to the publication, Bindi Irwin got a whopping $230,000 as prize money for her three-month appearance on "Dancing With the Stars" season 21.

During a recent interview, Irwin said that she wishes to donate her prize money to wildlife conservation.

"For us, we donate everything back to wildlife conservation," she said, reported Design & Trend. "So everything that I make goes straight back to wildlife conservation, which is really wonderful.

"But what's interesting is after you pay tax to everything else, with Australia and all these other places, that actually it doesn't add up to be that much," Bindi laughed. "So it looks to be a good number, but it's not actually that much."

After winning the Mirrorball trophy with dance partner Derek Hough, Irwin took to Twitter to thank her fans for their support.

"I am speechless. I can't tell you how much love I have for all of your support throughout this beautiful journey," the Australian teenager tweeted alongside her and Hough's photo holding the Mirrorball trophy.

Hough also posted their winning pictures on Instagram.

"Pure ecstasy!!! Thank you for the love and support! I couldn't be more happy for my beautiful @bindisueirwin. What a perfect way to finish a perfect season with a perfect person. #DWTS #thechampishere #season21dwts," he captioned the picture.

Irwin is the daughter of late "Crocodile Hunter" Steve Irwin, who was killed by a stingray barb in 2006 at the age of 44. She was just eight-years-old when her father died.
