The young Tasmanian survivor of the Paris terror attacks will tell of the horror inside the Bataclan Theatre, where the majority of the 129 victims were killed.

Emma Parkinson, 19, was shot in the hip as she scrambled to escape gunmen who entered the Bataclan concert hall and killed 89 people.

The 19-year-old from Hobart has undergone surgery in Paris and her mother Lisa and uncle Michael are at her bedside.

She had been at the sold-out Eagles of Death Metal concert on Friday, November 13 when the attack happened.

Ms Parkinson will speak of her ordeal in a not-for-profit exclusive interview on the Nine Network's 60 Minutes program on Sunday evening, the network announced on Friday.
