So I was doing a preliminary walk through of a property to be vacated, I found a small bathroom shelf had been torn from the wall possibly to stop a fall. So I need to put it back and the spot that was chosen last time was where it should be but I can't think of a way to reinstall with the large holes left behind from the tear out. Anyone have a way to get it done ?

Since you'll be patching drywall no matter what you do, I think I would make it larger, put a piece of 1/2" (or thicker) ply behind the drywall, overlapping with what stayed behind and patch that (held to the rock with screws). Then fasten whatever is next to that.
I started with absolutely nothing. Now, thanks to years of hard work, careful planning, and perseverance, I find I still have most of it left.

That will do it without much trouble. I have never seen those before thanks for the help. Those require a 3/4" hole which might even be bigger than the damaged area so thanks again.

i have this problem with my kids and the towel bar in their bathroom. I have no idea what they are doing, jumping out of the bathtub? First time I just fixed the hole with a chunk of drywall. I'm thinking about getting a combo towel bar/handhold and putting it up right. Unfortunately, they are expensive
