American travel creator thanks Will Smith for his kindness after Cape Town robbery

Sala Vie Brooks, an American travel content creator renowned for her zest for life and adrenaline-fueled adventures, has shared a heartfelt message of gratitude to Will Smith, famously known as The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air.

Currently exploring Cape Town, South Africa, Brooks took to TikTok to thank Smith for his generous support following a distressing incident where she was robbed.

In her emotional video, Brooks recounted her experience: “I got robbed in Cape Town, and it’s the best thing that ever happened. A celebrity that you all know has just paid for me and my friend, who just lost all our stuff. Fully, completely, brand-new everything. So thank you, Will Smith.”

Brooks expressed her appreciation for Smith’s donation, which replaced all her stolen skydiving gear.

She reflected on the situation, saying, “This is so ‘Chinese Farmer’, this is so ‘everything happens for a reason’. This reminds me of why I stay grateful and not scared of hectic situations. We lost thousands of dollars’ worth of things, and I didn’t even feel my heart sink because I knew that everything would be okay.”

“I know that I’m not invincible, but I am protected, and I’m so grateful for this gift from Will Smith and from the universe. My life is so magical, and your life can be as well. I think you just have to stay on a high vibration, so that’s my message,” she said.

In a moment of excitement, she exclaimed, “Will Smith bought me skydiving gear!”

Brooks revealed that she was surprised by her calmness during the robbery, stating, “I wasn’t sure why I wasn’t stressed about it until I got his message.”

She described the surreal experience of writing a thank-you letter on the top of Mount Kenya, saying, “I still didn’t even believe it was real. And it’s still settling, but thank you for replacing my gear and Nick’s. We are so, so grateful for you. Like, you’re Will Smith, and I’m just Sala Vie.”

“I had no idea that there was even a possibility in this world that you could know who I am, let alone that you would care enough about the situation to practically save us. So, thank you for changing my life. I can’t wait to skydive with you this fall when it comes in. If you’re keen. Thanks so much, Will.”

The TikTok video has garnered a wave of positive responses from netizens.
