Speaking in the video filmed in the gym, Dwayne, 45, said: "This past Saturday night, something happened to me and my family that I would never want to happen to any of you, but, of course, emergencies do happen.

"We were up all night with something scary that happened with our little baby girl Jasmine, who is OK now.

"I just want to say thank you so much to everyone who was involved, so caring, compassionate and so responsive."

Dwayne, who was last seen on screen in the new Jumanji film which was released in December, went on to give parents advice if they experience a similar situation.

He said: "To all you mommies and daddies out there, when emergencies like this happen, I would just highly recommend that you stay as calm and as focused as possible because our little babies energetically, they pick up on what we're putting out, especially in times of stress."

He captioned the video, "Things got a lil' hairy this weekend. Thank you LAFD first responders & UCLA medical team.

"We're grateful to you all and if you ever need anything, I got your back."
