A daughter of Kansas City Chiefs owner Clark Hunt suffered a scary moment on a hiking trip.

Clark's wife Tavia posted Tuesday on her Instagram story that their daughter Ava suffered a "deep wound" while hiking.

"This little thang fell down the mountain today on a hike & went to the ER for surgery on a deep wound. It’s been a looong day. Praise God she’s in recovery and already smiling. Please pray for a quick and complete recovery," the wife of the Chiefs owner wrote, according to People.

Ava Hunt suffers serious injury on hiking trip.

While Tavia didn't specify what part of the body Ava hurt on the hiking trip, People reported the "deep wound" was on one of her legs. The Chiefs heiress and Gracie Hunt's sister also took to Instagram to write that surgery was a success.

"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 wrote, according to the same People report.
