Ava Hunt, the youngest daughter of Kansas City Chiefs owner Clark Hunt, required emergency surgery after suffering an injury during a hiking trip.

The 18-year-old sustained an injured leg after falling down a mountain and was rushed to the emergency room before she went under the knife, having suffered a “deep wound.” 

“This little thang fell down the mountain today on a hike & went to the ER for surgery on a deep wound,” her mother, Tavia Hunt, posted to Instagram.

“It’s been a looong day. Praise God she’s in recovery and already smiling. Please pray for a quick and complete recovery,” she added.

Ava subsequently took to the platform to provide an update of her own, revealing she was home and doing well enough to watch Simone Biles perform at the 2024 Summer Olympics.

“Update: surgery went very smoothly and I’m back at home watching my favorite @simonebiles!! I’m feeling great (but I might still be a little drugged up) Thank you for all of your sweet messages and prayers,” she noted.
