Sea World chopper survivor Nicky Tadros arrives home after six months

A 10-year-old boy who survived the horror Sea World helicopter crash that killed his mother has finally returned home after six months of treatment.

The 10-year-old boy who survived the horror Sea World helicopter crash that killed his mother has finally returned to his home in western Sydney with his doting father by his side.

Nicholas Tadros and his father Simon told of their six-month battle, including the amputation of young Nicky’s right leg.

“My leg has healed up, and I have got my prosthetic leg which is good,” Nicky told Nine’s A Current Affair.

“I’m back at school (and my friends) they started crying saying like, ‘how is it to be back’.

“I cried a couple of tears as well.”

Nicky was critically injured in a collision between two Sea World helicopters on January 2. His mother Vanessa, British tourists Ron and Diane Hughes and chief pilot Ash Jenkinson died.

Simon and Nicky’s wife and mother Vanessa Tadros died in the crash.

“Nicky was walking three or four months before they predicted he would be, he’s gone far beyond what they thought he would do,” Simon Tadros said.

“When we came home from the hospital we knew it was going to be different but we just said to each other, mum is with us no matter what and we have to do what we can to make her proud.”

“I feel like I’m a part of another family, I feel like I’m always loved and never by myself,” Nicky said.

“I’ve got the whole support of Australia, people are there with me.”

The Tadroses were showered in over $200,000 worth of gifts from generous donors.

“Without my family we wouldn’t have been able to make it through, we wouldn't be here today without them,” a teary Mr Tadros said as he thanked both his family and close friends at their western Sydney home.

“Thank you for all your support for us Australia,” Nicky said.
