The 19-year-old Australian who was shot at the Bataclan theatre during Friday's terror attack in Paris has left hospital but is still traumatised by the experience, her family says. 

Emma Parkinson escaped the gunmen in the concert hall by dropping to the floor then climbing over a barrier to freedom - though she was shot in the thigh before reaching safety. 

The family released a statement on Tuesday via the Australian embassy in Paris. 

Emma's mother Lisa and uncle Michael arrived in Paris on Monday and they rushed to the hospital bedside where Emma was recovering from surgery on Saturday. 

Emma has now been released from hospital and she and her mother "are now spending some much needed quality time together", Mr Parkinson said. 

"Physically, Emma is doing much better and she is expected to make a good recovery," he said. 

But the emotional wound will take longer to heal - Mr Parkinson said she was "in no condition" to speak publicly yet about her ordeal. 

"Obviously Emma has gone through an horrific experience and it will take her some time to come to terms with it," he said. 

The family also extended its thoughts and condolences to the family and friends of the victims of the attack. 

Mr Parkinson said he wanted to thank everyone for the "outpouring of support" during this difficult time. 

"The warmth and kindness we are experiencing is overwhelming and we are incredibly grateful," he said. 

The family thanked Australian ambassador Stephen Brady for his support, the staff at the hospital who cared for Emma, and Qantas and Telstra for practical support: airfares and accommodation.

"We would like to start out by thanking everyone for the outpouring of support during this difficult time. The warmth and kindness we are experiencing is overwhelming and we are incredibly grateful.

We would also like to extend our thoughts and condolences to the family and friends of the victims during these tragic events.

Our thoughts remain with those people and with the people of France.

Emma sustained a bullet wound to the thigh area and underwent surgery on Saturday, November 14, and has since been released from hospital.

Physically, Emma is doing much better and she is expected to make a good recovery.

Obviously Emma has gone through an horrific experience and it will take her some time to come to terms with it.

Emma is not in any condition to speak publicly at this time and we would ask that her privacy is respected.

The family wishes to take this opportunity to thank the Australian Ambassador to France, Stephen Brady. His personal response and the comfort and support he has provided to Emma and our family has been beyond anything we would have expected.

We can’t overstate our gratitude to him.

We would also like to thank the staff at the Hospital for taking such good care of Emma in what must have been incredibly trying times for all of the emergency response staff involved.

Finally, can we thank both Qantas and Telstra for the practical assistance they have provided to our family by way of airfares and accommodation. To have this burden lifted from our shoulders has been of huge relief.

Emma and her mum Lisa are now spending some much needed quality time together. Again, we would ask that the media please respect their privacy at this time."
