Heidi Klumโs family holiday in tropical Hawaii turned into a dramatic rescue scene as her eldest son Henry was caught in a dangerous rip.
The supermodelโs maternal instincts sprung into action as she pulled the seven-year-old from the water with the help of bodyguard boyfriend Martin Kristen.
โWe got pulled into the ocean by a big wave,โ she told ET Online.
โOf course, as a mother, I was very scared for my child and everyone else in the water.โ
Two of Klumโs nannies came to Henryโs aid trying to pull him from the water, but got caught themselves with Heidi dragging the two women from the surf herself, helped by her father, Gunther, who was also holidaying with the family on the Hawaiian Island of Oahu.
โHenry is a strong swimmer and was able to swim back to land. We were able to get everyone out safely,โ Klum said.
