Brad Pitt is said to be deeply distressed over his estranged son Pax's recent hospitalization following a severe electric dirt bike accident in Los Angeles.

Pax's Jolie-Pitt's crash, which occurred in the absence of a helmet, resulted in injuries that raised concerns of potential brain bleeding and prompted Brad Pitt's reported anguish, according to the Daily Mail. 

Pax's accident took place on Sunday at 5:12 p.m. on Los Feliz Boulevard. The incident involved Pax colliding with a car that was stopped at a red light. Upon the crash, Pax complained of head and hip pain, alarming both the police and paramedics.

Immediate Concerns Over Brain Injury

Responding to the severity of the situation, emergency services swiftly transported Pax to the hospital. The driver of the car checked on Pax before the arrival of the first responders.

Angelina Jolie remains by her son's side in the hospital, where he was said to be in stable condition.

Estranged Relationship Adds Tension

Brad Pitt, who has been estranged from Pax since an alleged domestic violence incident in 2016 involving a private jet, has been unable to communicate with his son. Brad is notably affected by the news of Pax's injuries and has made multiple attempts to reach out to him, albeit unsuccessfully.

“It is very upsetting to Brad whenever he hears of one of the kids being hurt and he feels completely powerless because there is nothing that he can do at all,” said a source.

Safety Concerns Highlighted by Pitt

Brad expressed his concerns about Pax’s choice to ride the electric dirt bike without a helmet. Pax was riding a $3,000 Talaria Sting R MX4 electric bike when the accident occurred and was seen without a helmet prior to the crash.

California law mandates that motorcycle riders and those under 18 riding type three electric scooters must wear helmets. Beyond this, Pax was non-compliant with road rules by riding an off-road scooter on a public road.

Ongoing Legal and Familial Strife

The relationship between Brad and Pax has been strained for nearly a decade, with Pax publicly criticizing Pitt on social media in 2020. Sources close to the situation claim Angelina Jolie has been a significant factor in the fractured relationship.

"Brad doesn't think that Pax should be driving a scooter without a helmet to begin with -- he should have been in a car," the source added.

Pitt's Desperate Attempts to Reconnect

Brad has felt the distance from his children keenly, repeatedly trying to reach out to them, only to be met with silence. "A father's inclination would be to go to the hospital or to call him. He's tried so many times, but the kids won't take his calls. His hands are tied."

The ongoing legal battles between Brad and Angelina continue to make headlines, including a $67 million lawsuit over their Miraval wine business. The fierce custody battle that began following Angelina's 2016 divorce filing has also added to the public scrutiny of their family dynamics.

Angelina’s Role and Pax’s Well-Being

Angelina Jolie, who adopted Pax from Vietnam when he was three, has retained primary custody of the children since the divorce proceedings began. Pax remains close to Angelina and his five siblings, who have also distanced themselves from Brad.

Pax, who has not been seen publicly with Brad since 2016, has had a rocky relationship with his father since the alleged physical assault incident on the private jet. Several children, including Shiloh, Vivienne, and Zahara, have taken steps to distance themselves from Pitt's surname as well.

Conclusion

Brad Pitt's sorrow and worry over his estranged son Pax have been exacerbated by the recent bike accident, highlighting ongoing familial and legal issues within the famous family.

Despite the strained relationship, Brad continues to reach out, hoping for a chance to reconnect with his children.

Meanwhile, Pax receives care in the hospital with Angelina by his side, reflecting the complicated and distressing nature of their family ties.
