Heartwarming thoughts are going out to Sarah Jessica Parker after she had to abruptly leave New York City Ballet's 10th Annual Fall Fashion Gala because of what appeared to be a serious family emergency.

On Wednesday, September 28, the Sex and the City star arrived at the David H. Koch Theater for a night where she was supposed to be honored; however, she fled from the event just moments after her arrival.

Neither the 57-year-old nor the NYCB released any official statement regarding the And Just Like That... star's spontaneous departure, and the red carpet event seemed to carry on as planned.

It remains unclear what exactly caused Parker to ditch her night of honor, as just one day prior, the award-winning actress attended the premiere of Disney +'s Hocus Pocus 2 with her husband, Matthew Broderick, and their 13-year old twin daughters, Marion and Tabitha.
