Alfonso Ribeiro revealed that his daughter underwent emergency surgery over the weekend, after a worrying fall.

The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air actor, 51, explained that Ava – who he shares with wife Angela Unkrich - was taken in for treatment the day before her fourth birthday.

During an appearance on Live with Kelly And Mark this week, he opened up about the tough time for the family.

‘Unfortunately, my daughter got injured and had to have emergency surgery,’ he said. ‘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.’

‘It's going to be a long process,’ he shared of her recovery.

Alfonso also reflected on a warning that Angela had given before the accident, which ultimately ‘wasn’t listened to’.

He recalled: ‘The hard part of it is that my wife really listens to her intuitions and she actually, on Thursday, bought 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”.
