Jackie, a darling of Australian radio and TV told fans on The Kyle & Jackie O Show that her daughter felt very overwhelmed at the ceremony held at the International Convention Centre in Sydney.
The pair had to go on stage after Jackie and Kyle won Best Networked Show and this was reportedly when Kitty began to feel unwell under the bright lights.
When on the stage the KIIS team helped Kitty get on exectutive producer Pedro Vitola’s shoulders so she could see out into the crowd.
Jackie O, who was giving the acceptance speech, thought this might’ve been the problem.
She said: “Twelve year olds don’t want anyone, crowds looking at them. They’re self-conscious.
“So I think she had a little moment of like, ‘Oh my god, everyone’s looking at me. I gotta get down,’ and she hadn’t eaten much that day either.”
“When we got off stage all the guys, like 25 of them, are chanting. It’s loud, they’re all excited.
“It was kind of hectic, and I think Kitty was almost about to faint and then sort of have a bit of a panic (attack).”
The star realised something wasn’t right when she looked at her daughter before deciding it was time to get her to a hospital.
She continued: “Kitty had a bit of a panic attack and so, to cut a long story short, I ended up taking her to the emergency,’ she continued.
“I took her myself. I just wanted to get her checked, just in case, and she was fine. So that’s why I didn’t go to the afterparty.”

Kitty acted as her mums date for the night after the Aussie has been at the centre of dating rumours since splitting from her British photographer husband Lee Henderson in 2018.
The ex-lovers are still friendly as they take turns looking after Kitty.
The 48-year-old had to address some of these murmurs on air after the name Jack Tyerman, kept popping up.
She said they were “just friends”, insisting: “No, Jack is not my boyfriend.
“We’re not in a relationship – he is not my boy toy.”
Despite all this she did confirm that she is currently “dating” and on the look for love.

The radio host stunned fans and the media in a hot pink mini dress as she stole the show at the glamorous ACRA event after what she called “a big year”.
She looked spectacular on the red carpet as Australia’s iconic presenter had all eyes on her.
Jackie O wore the strapless dress with white pointy heels, a retro diamante purse and nude lipstick to complete the look.
KIIS FM’s star host told news.com.au at the event: “This has been such a big year for me.
“I feel like for once I’m having this year where I can look back and go, ‘2023 was so much fun and so much happened’, so I do feel that good energy around me.”
