Actor Will Smith celebrated his 50th birthday with a daring bungee jump from a helicopter over the Grand Canyon.

The actor had earlier signed a deal with YouTube for the event, titled "Will Smith: The Jump Off", which was streamed live on the website Tuesday.

The 1,000-foot jump was hosted by Smith's friend and his "The Fresh Prince of Bel Air" co-star, Alfonso Ribeiro.

The actor's family -- wife Jada Pinkett Smith and his three children Trey, Jaden and Willow -- cheered him on as he took the leap of faith.

Just before the jump he seemed a little nervous, but he soon got into the groove and blew kisses to the crowd.

At one moment, Smith appeared to have a moment of doubt and said, "Never look down."
