While hanging out on the beach in Miami on New Year's Day, the "America's Best Dance Crew" judge quickly stepped into action when a helicopter hovering too low to the ground sent a large sun umbrella flying toward a 1-year-old girl. Chasez managed to block the parasol from hitting the youngster.

The mother of the child, Italian jeweler Netali Nissim, who was sitting with her daughter at the time of the incident near the Fontainebleau Hotel, has nothing but gratitude for Chasez's heroic deed.

"Shirel is safe because of him," she told E! News via her rep. "I want to tell him thank you from the bottom of my heart. If it had not been for him, my daughter could have been hurt."

Whatcha got for us, Joey Fatone?
