Alfonso revealed on Tuesday that Ava faces a “long” recovery after the shock incident.
Appearing on Live with Kelly and Mark on Tuesday, he said: “Unfortunately on Thursday my daughter was injured and had to undergo emergency surgery.
“So it was a very stressful weekend. She fell and basically had road rash on her face and arm, so they had to peel off all the skin.”
When Mark, 52, asked if Ava was going to be okay, Alfonso replied: “It’s going to be a long process.”
He also revealed that his wife Angela had a feeling Ava was going to “get hurt”
The actor said: “The hard part about it is that my wife really listens to her intuition.
“She actually bought everyone in the kitchen on Thursday and told everyone, ‘I have a feeling my daughter is going to the ER this week.
“‘Don’t let her do anything she might get hurt’.”
He added: “Obviously it wasn’t listened to. And so my nanny ran back into the house to get books and stuff and [Ava] went on a sit-down scooter anyway.”
Kelly asked, “How long has your wife been a psychologist?”
Alfson replied: “Unfortunately, most of her life. She very rarely gets things wrong and sees things coming.
“You don’t always listen to that gut feeling, and I think that all mothers have that beautiful intuition. It was very specific, but all mothers have that intuition.
“You carry this soul around in your body for nine months; there’s a connection that men can never understand that women have with their babies. And she felt something that, unfortunately, everyone else didn’t adhere to that information.”
QUICK ACCIDENT
The Dancing with the Stars host first revealed last Friday that Ava had emergency surgery after falling off her sit-scooter.
“Not the kind of day you want the day before you turn 4,” he wrote alongside a photo of Ava’s nasty scratches on her face and arm.
Alfonso added: “Just wanted to say a big thank you to @kareskinmd for the emergency service and procedure to help reduce the likelihood of a scare.
“So proud of how brave my little girl was during the surgery.”
The actor shares three children with Angela – Ava, and sons Alfonso “AJ” Lincoln, nine, and Anders Reyn, eight.
The TV star – who hosted DTWS with Tyra Banks last year – is also a father to 20-year-old daughter Sienna from a previous relationship.
