‘Fresh Prince’ star Alfonso Ribeiro shares devastating photo of his daughter 1 day before her fourth birthday
The Ribeiro family recently found themselves in the spotlight after a tragic accident that left their 4-year-old daughter, Ava, hurt.
The Dancing with the Stars presenter revealed that their young daughter’s recuperation process is anticipated to take several months.
With Alfonso turning 52 this year, the family is going through a difficult time, but their main priority is still helping Ava get well.
Reportedly, the young girl, who had fallen off her sit-down scooter the day before her fourth birthday, required emergency surgery on Friday, May 12 to avoid any potential scarring.
By posting images of his daughter’s wounds, which included severe burns and bruises all over her right elbow, shoulder, and eye, Alfonso expressed his pride in Ava’s bravery and thanked the medical staff at Kare MD Skin Health.
In his Instagram post, the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air actor stated, “Not the kind of day you want the day before turning 4.” I would like to express my sincere gratitude to [Kare MD Skin Health] for the emergency care and procedure that will hopefully reduce the risk of [scarring]. I’m so proud of my little girl for her bravery throughout the procedure.
Meanwhile, Ava’s mother Angela elaborated on the details surrounding her daughter’s accident, saying that earlier in the morning she had a strong suspicion that Ava would be in danger.
“I announced to the fam, kids, sitter & friends helping out getting ready for Ava’s birthday party that ‘we are not doing anything crazy or dangerous today that could potentially end up with an ER visit.’ I literally made everyone lock eyes to me when I said these words.”
However, it’s evident that people didn’t take Angela’s warning seriously enough because Ava fell off her scooter shortly after she made her announcement.
Following the incident, Ava was taken to Kare MD Skin Health and Dr. Raffy after hours in an attempt to reduce the possibility that she would develop scars later on.
