Kylie has made her first public appearance since announcing she had breast cancer, visiting a children's hospital in her native Melbourne.

She made a special visit to the cancer ward of the Royal Children's Hospital.

Dave Rodgers from the childrens charity 'Challenge' whom had organised the visit said: "This did Kylie as much good as it did the kids.

I think she needed to see that other people are out there battling cancer. She seemed to take strength from the fact that these kids are fighting the disease like she is."

Kylie is expected to make a full recovery from her surgery.
