Jeremy Renner, the 52-year-old actor, made a triumphant and emotional return to the red carpet on Tuesday for the premiere of his upcoming Disney+ series Rennervations. It was his first public appearance since his snowplow accident on Jan. 1. Renner, who walked hand-in-hand with his 10-year-old daughter Ava Berlin Renner, donned a classic navy blue suit, notably using a cane. His daughter wore a matching blue dress with a classic necklace and earrings.

Speaking to PEOPLE on the red carpet, Renner said, "I'm overflowing with gratitude and excitement unlike [anything] I've felt in a very, very long time, you know? Because it's not a movie that I'm promoting, It's not a show, it's my, it's my life, man, this is what I do."

Renner's family was also in attendance, and when asked how he felt to have them by his side, he replied, "I mean, it's everything. They're the fuel behind a lot of things that I do, and it's nice to be able to share this with them and be a part of it."

Renner's daughter Ava played an important role in the design of some of the buses and ideas on the show. He said, "It's great to be doing something you love to do with people you love. That, to me, is like what Heaven is. That's the greatest dessert. That's the greatest, you know, thing I'll ever do. Right? Amazing."

In January, Renner broke more than 30 bones and underwent multiple surgeries after surviving an accident with a snowplow at his property outside Reno, Nevada. His snowplow, which weighed at least 14,330 pounds, ran him over while he was helping a family member get a 'stuck' vehicle out of the snow. He was attempting to save his nephew when the accident happened.

Renner revealed that he was back on his feet last month and has kept fans updated on his ongoing recovery in the three months since the incident. He has also received support from several of his Marvel costars, including Paul Rudd, Anthony Mackie, Chris Evans, Chris Pratt, and Evangeline Lilly.

In Rennervations, Renner helps out charities by reconstructing decommissioned vehicles for new uses alongside famous friends including Vanessa Hudgens, Anthony Mackie, Anil Kapoor, and Sebastián Yatra. He partners with local organizations in each episode to improve the communities he visits. Rennervations debuts Wednesday on Disney+.
