David Beckham flew solo to attend Tuesday's 6th
Biennial UNICEF Ball, but there was no shortage
of famous faces at the star-studded event.
The longtime Goodwill Ambassador received the
Danny Kaye Humanitarian Leadership Award at
the Beverly Hills event for his work with children
worldwide as well as the work he does through
his charity, Seven.
The 40-year-old found himself among stars like
Nicole Kidman, Selena Gomez and the event's
headline performer, Mariah Carey.
Beckham posted a photo on his Instagram
account, writing that he is "extremely honoured"
to receive the award.
"I can't wait to continue doing all I can for
Unicef and my 7 Fund, 7.org, to help
children across the world," Beckham
captioned a photo of himself along with a
group of children.
Elton John and David Furnish presented Beckham
with the award.
"I am humbled tonight," Beckham said in
his acceptance speech, adding: "We live in a
world in which children still die of
preventable diseases. Children are still
being abused. I have four children of my
own. I will not stop supporting this charity
that does so much for so many children
around the world."
