'What do you mean we flew from Los Angeles. I ate plane food for this!' Rebel joked to a chorus of laughter from the audience.
She later presented Harry with the statuette.
'Hello, thank you ... everyone here has always been so wonderful to me,' Harry told the crowd.
'Thank you for having me here and having me back. I obviously wouldn't be here [if it wasn't] for the fans who voted.'

Rebel made history in September when Victorian Supreme Court justice John Dixon awarded her damages against Bauer Media, the German publisher of Woman's Day, Australian Women's Weekly, OK! and NW magazine.
An all-female jury in June reached a unanimous verdict that Woman's Day, Australian Women's Weekly, OK! and NW magazine publisher defamed her in eight articles published in May 2015.
The articles claimed she was a serial liar about her real name, age and childhood so she could make it in Hollywood.
Rebel won $650,000 in general damages and $3,917,472 in special damages for opportunities in movie roles she lost because of the articles.

She described that verdict in Melbourne as 'awesome'.
'It was so, so satisfying that the jury voted with me. It was such an overwhelming, comprehensive victory that it was just amazing,' she said.
