According to People Magazine, on Sunday, Hart, 40, appeared at the 2019 at the E! People’s Choice Awards in Los Angeles, where he accepted the accolade for comedy movie star of 2019. During his heartfelt acceptance speech, he thanked his family for their unconditional support.
“First and foremost, thank God, because I definitely don’t have to be here,” the Jumanji star said.
“Being that I am, it makes me appreciate life even more. It makes me appreciate the things that really matter: family. I want to thank my wife, my kids, who really stepped up to the plate for me,” said the father of three, referencing his wife Eniko and his three kids, Hendrix, 12, Kenzo, 2, and daughter Heaven, 14.
And Hart thanked his ride-or-die fans who sent a barrage of well wishes his way after a friend crashed his Plymouth Barracuda, where he was a passenger. It was a tough time for the funnyman and the road to recovery has been no laughing matter.
“I truly want to thank you guys for being there for me at my difficult time,” he said.
Hart’s lucky to be alive, according to reports, after he was a passenger in a horrific car crash in Calabasas and his vehicle tumbled over several times. Hart’s vehicle, a 1970’s muscle car, was reportedly driven by Jared Black, and plummeted off the side of the road into an embankment.
