Bet she didn't expect this reaction...

She's made no secret of her love for Australia but Pink's latest tweet dedicated to Australia left an emotional impression on all her fans.

The singer, and her family, have spent three months here touring with her Beautiful Trauma show - and earlier this week she flew back home to the USA.

Taking to Twitter, a clearly emotional Pink, was clearly sad to say goodbye after 42 shows - even though her time in Australia has been tumultuous to say the least.

She wrote, 'Thankyou Sydney, the last two nights have been magical. The last 3 or so months have been both amazing & challenging for my family and I, but I remain forever grateful for the time we’ve had together in your beautiful country & for the years of friendship and memories. 42 shows!!'

During her time here, Pink fell ill with a virus and spent time in Sydney's St Vincent's Hospital, and she had to postpone several shows.

She also had to defend herself against the media who questioned why she was sick but was photographed on the beach.

I don't need to clear this up, but out of respect for my fans I will attempt it. I scheduled this tour meticulously, trying to do what was best for my children, while also putting on the best and most physically demanding and beautiful show of my life. This break in Byron has been scheduled since 2017, as a way to get outside the hotel and the winter and have some time with my children. I've already been sick twice (kids as well)on this Australian tour, but the first time we got sick, I was able to push through. This time, what these parasite paparazzi don't show you, is two doctor visits in Byron on two consecutive days, antibiotics, steroids, Vick's, nose spray, throat spray, more steroids, NyQuil, a screaming baby in the middle of the night, every night, while mama gives him warm baths and tells her daughter everything is fine. You can think whatever you want, it's your right, but I have never taken advantage of any one in my entire life. I have never fucked off while disrespecting hard working people who spend money to come see me play. I have never phoned in a single tour, I have an impeccable record for not cancelling. I mother with everything I have whilst handling all the rest. The snark in this is unbelievable and makes me long for a nicer world. I'm doing the absolute best I can, and you can believe it or not. What they don't show you in this picture is me drinking water and lying down while my friends try to entertain my 7 year old who is asking me why these creepy men are surrounding us and pacing back and forth and taking pictures of her every move. I will see everyone tomorrow whether I'm better or not, and the postponed show will be rescheduled. As I said, I'm sorry to the real fans who this situation has affected. Onwards and upwards.

Husband Carey Hart also fell foul of the media when he posted about a row he had with a woman at an Aussie petrol station after she told him to stop using his mobile phone in case it caused an explosion.

However, Pink was still clearly sad to bid farewell to Australia and the reaction from thousands of fans was heartwarming.

'You're always one of us,' said one.

'You're an honorary Aussie,' said another. 'Come back soon please'.

'Speechless - I just cried,' said someone else. 'We are your greatest fans.'
