Alfonso Ribeiro has revealed his four-year-old daughter faces a long recovery following a scary scooter accident.

The Fresh Prince of Bel Air star, 51, told morning show Live! With Kelly and Mark about his daughter's plight.
He revealed: "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."

"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.'"
But he confessed no one listened to her warnings despite her being a psychic "most of her life". The actor revealed she "very rarely gets things wrong," adding: "You don’t always listen to that feeling, and I think that all mothers have that beautiful intuition."
Alfonso had shared snaps of the nasty looking injuries to his social media in the days that followed. Little Ava was seen in a yellow vest with her arm heavily bruised under her shoulder and around her elbow.

Fans were quick to send well wishes to Ava in the comments section, with Amy Purdy saying: " Oh no! Sending love and healing."
