*Alfonso Ribeiro’s daughter suffered an accident on her scooter that required emergency surgery.

The former “Fresh Prince” star shared a gruesome photo on his Instagram showing daughter Ava,4, with skin scalpel scars. In the caption, he explained, “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.”

The “Dancing With the Stars” co-host also talked about the incident during his recent appearance on “Live! With Kelly and Mark.”

“On Thursday, unfortunately, my daughter got injured and had to have emergency surgery,” Ribeiro said, Page Six reports. “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.”

His wife Angela shared the same photo of Ava on her own IG page and explained in the caption that she had “a vision” her daughter was going to end up in the emergency room on the day of the accident.

She wrote, “My poor baby. I woke up and had a vision/motherly intuition of Ava ending up in the ER today. 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. Sadly, my words were soon forgotten and long story short, this poor girl crashed off a sit-down scooter…the day before her bday.”

Angela added, “A big thank you to Dr. Raffy at @kareskinmd for seeing us after hours and performing a procedure to hopefully eventually have little scaring on her face and arms. Not a fun way to spend your last day as a 3-year old, but she was a trooper. Giving this sweet girl some extra cuddles tonight.”

Ribeiro said on “Live! With Kelly and Mark” that Ava’s recovery is going to be a “long process.”
