“It was supposed to be a bonding moment, but it almost became my worst nightmare,” he wrote. “I nearly lost my child to the ocean. I’m still shaken.”
Visibly emotional in the video he shared, the nightlife mogul expressed gratitude to God and to quick responders who helped avert the tragedy. He also used the moment to advise fellow parents to exercise extreme caution during recreational activities involving children.
“No matter how experienced you think you are, the ocean is powerful and unpredictable. Parents, please be careful. Don’t take your eyes off your kids for a second,” he warned.
