Will Smith has Fresh Prince fans in meltdown as cast reunite at show's original house

Will Smith has reunited with the rest of the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air cast in the very home in which the 90s comedy was filmed.

Hit sitcom Fresh Prince, which ran between 1990 and 1996, is regarded as one of Will's best works to date, in which he played a cheesy, goofy but kind-hearted young man of the same name.

It propelled him to worldwide fame in the early 90s and set him on course as the Hollywood mega-star we know him as today.

Celebrating the 30th anniversary of the show's debut earlier this month, Will, DJ Jazzy Jeff - who played Will's pal Jazz - and other cast members came back together to give fans a tour around the famous house.

The property was used for exterior shots, while the interior was filmed on an in-studio stage.

What's more, you can now stay in the property tonight through Airbnb for £23 ($30) a night.

Will teamed up with Airbnb to rent off a wing of the house to mark three decades of Fresh Prince.

But the offer stands for one night (29th September), and as of tomorrow it will no longer be available.

Tatyana Ali and Karyn Parsons - who played Will's wealthy cousins Ashley and Hillary Banks - also hit up the reunion, as did Joseph Marcell, the man behind fan favourite Geoffrey Butler.

Daphne Maxwell Reid, who played Will's aunt Vivian between seasons four and six, showed her face, but original actress Janet Hubert-Whitten wasn't to be seen.

Another notable absence was I'm A Celeb's Alfonso Ribeiro, who originated Carlton Banks and his legendary dance.

James Avery, who played father-figure Uncle Phil, sadly died in 2013.

But the rest of the cast made sure to honour the late legend, smiling with a portrait of him hung inside the house.

Meanwhile, a one-off reunion special is set to air around November-time this year on HBO Max.

He'll be joined by the cast, including Alfonso, as he treats fans to something they've been calling for for decades.
