Alana “Honey Boo Boo” Thompson had a blast during her family’s meet and greet with fans in Los Angeles over the weekend.

On Wednesday, the 16-year-old reality star proudly shared raw footage of the moment they arrived at Hollywood Burger for the event. The clip showed a large group of fans welcoming her and her family as they exited their car.

In the video, many fans had their phones raised to take photos and videos of the reality stars and screamed when Honey Boo Boo got out of the car and helped her sister Lauryn “Pumpkin” Shannon, 22, and the rest of the family step out of the vehicle.

Also captured in the video was Alana’s 20-year-old boyfriend Dralin Carswell, who was the last one to exit their ride. The family then walked inside the venue as fans cheered.

“We had the best time at the [Hollywood Burger] meet and greet this past weekend. Thank you to everyone who showed up. It was so nice to meet all of you,” Honey Boo Boo captioned the video.

The post has since received a flurry of positive messages from the reality family’s supporters. Many were pleased with the turnout of the fan event.

“Yes, this was such a great turnout,” wrote entrepreneur Barbara Lizzet Sanchez, who helped organize the event.

“This type of attention will never replace an interruption of support from your parents. You have so many people who are not interested in your celebrity but who are cheering you on. I am one of them,” another fan commented.

“You all are loved and only the very best is wanted for you all,” a third user added.

Last week, Pumpkin surprised everyone when she announced on social media the family’s meet and greet in West Hollywood just five days before the event. She encouraged their supporters to show up because they would be selling their official merch and giving out signatures at the venue.

“Y’all come out this Sunday to meet us and hang with the family. … We can’t wait to see everyone,” she added.

There were rumors that Honey Boo Boo and Pumpkin could be getting their own reality show sans their controversial mom, Mama June Shannon. Reports claimed the siblings will meet with a top shot later this month to discuss the project, but International Business Times could not verify this information.
