Schapelle Corby's family are relieved the convicted drug smuggler has been released from Kerobokan jail in Bali.
Schapelle's sister, Mercedes, in a brief statement emailed to journalists thanked her sister's supporters.
"We've been waiting almost ten years for this moment - it's very emotional for Schapelle and our family. We are all very relieved and happy," the statement said.
"Thank you for everyone who has been there for us and supported us all these years."
After a frenetic few hours surrounded and chased by press since her release early on Monday morning from Bali's Kerobokan prison, Corby was taken to the luxury Sentosa Seminyak hotel - a far cry from the prison she has called home for the past nine years.
Corby was convicted in 2005 of smuggling 4.2 kilograms of marijuana into Bali in a bodyboard bag.
