The father of the late Steve Irwin is reportedly recovering after suffering a heart attack.

Bob Irwin, who is married to Judy, was flown by the Royal Flying Doctor Service to Brisbane's Holy Spirit Northside Hospital, where he is currently in a specialist cardiac care unit.

Judy told AAP: "He suffered a large heart attack but is currently stable in ICU. We would appreciate respect for our privacy so that Bob may make a full and speedy recovery." She also thanked the health professionals for "the wonderful care provided".

Bob's daughter-in-law Terri released a statement reading: "It has been a worrying time, but Terri, Bindi and Robert Irwin and the entire Australia Zoo family are relieved that Bob is now doing well. Knowing Bob, he's as tough as nails, and will be back on his feet in no time."
