Sophie Delezio, the little girl horrifically burned when a car crashed through a daycare centre in 2003, has presented an award to the man who saved her life.
Sophie presented Westmead Hospital's burns unit head Dr John Harvey with a humanitarian award at the annual Variety Hearts Awards.
Sophie suffered burns to more than 80 per cent of her body and her feet had to be amputated after the crash, which left her and two-year-old playmate Molly Wood trapped.
Sophie's father Ron Delezio said he was proud of his daughter, who wore a pink dress and matching crocheted headscarf.
"She's our inspiration," he said. "She's our strength."
The three-year-old received a standing ovation at the awards attended by TV stars, musicians and business identities.
"It's going to be a long road because she is going to have to have skin grafts and cosmetic surgery and all sorts of things," Mr Delezio said.
The Variety Heart Awards recognise Australians for their exceptional effort in the humanitarian and entertainment fields.
ABC TV host Andrew Denton, for his work on television, actor Jack Thompson, who received a lifetime achievement award, and film director Baz Luhrmann and also received awards.
After receiving his award, an emotional Luhrmann met Sophie and posed for photographs.
Presenters included Kate Bosworth, who is in Australia to film Superman Returns, and Oscar-winning actor Russell Crowe.
The Variety Heart Awards were founded 25 years ago, and many high-profile entertainers including Mel Gibson, Nicole Kidman, Bert Newton, Hugh Jackman and Cate Blanchett have been recognised.
