The video featured Ava, wearing a white floral print minidress, with a gold necklace around her neck, as she walked up to a throng of supporters with her mom filming.
‘Are you dying right now?’ Heather asks her daughter, as cars are heard honking down the street, all waiting for her.
Ava starts fanning her face, saying, ‘I’m gonna start crying’ as they see one of the cars in front of the driveway has a sign that reads ‘Congrats Ava.’

Ava’s father, Bon Jovi guitarist Richie Sambora, told People in April that his daughter, who graduated from Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles, was ‘bummed’ there would not be a ceremony.
‘She’s a little bit bummed because, you know, she was graduating in May, and now the pomp and circumstance of the whole graduation thing is off,’ the 60-year-old rocker said.
He added that his daughter, ‘really kicked a**’ during her time at the university, adding, ‘she made the dean’s list every year and all of that other stuff, so she was really looking forward to her graduation.’
While Ava sadly won’t get the ceremony she certainly deserved, at least she got to celebrate her accomplishments with her loved ones.
