The day before she turned four, THE FRESH PRINCE OF BEL-AIR actor Alfonso Ribeiro’s daughter suffered an injury in a scooter accident.
However, after nearly one month after her accident Ribeiro’s daughter, Ava, was seen all dressed up for a wedding.
Ribeiro’s wife, Angela, posted a picture of Ava and her two brothers, Anders Reyn, 8, and Alfonso “AJ” Lincoln, 9.
Angela wrote, “They clean up well.”
Alfonso shared on his Instagram photos of his daughter Ava after her scooter accident.
He wrote, “Not the kind of day you want the day before turning 4. Just want to give a heartfelt thank you to @kareskinmd for the emergency service and procedure to help lessen the likelihood of scaring. So proud of how brave my baby girl was during the surgery.”
Then on May 15, he shared a sweet photo of little Ava in her princess dress on her fourth birthday.
He captioned the post, “Happy Birthday to my sweet Ava Sue. As some of you know Ava had a very difficult week. I’m so proud of how well she handled everything. She’s so brave strong and creative. I love everything about my little girl. On a side note I’m forever grateful to @mrsangelaribeiro1 for being so amazing during this time. Long nights with a little girl in pain and having to apply medication every few hours. My two hero’s.”
Following his daughter’s accident Alfonso appeared on LIVE WITH KELLY AND MARK.
He told Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos, “On Thursday, unfortunately, my daughter got injured and had to have emergency surgery. So it was a very stressful weekend. She fell and had basically road rash on her face and arm, and so they had to scalpel off all the skin.”
On the show he also revealed that his wife, Angela had a motherly instinct and felt that something bad was going to happen.
“The hard part of it is that my wife really listens to her intuitions and she actually on Thursday brought everyone into the kitchen and told everyone, ‘I have a feeling my daughter is going to the ER this week. Do not let her do anything that she can get hurt doing,'” Ribeiro stated.
