The Baywatch star, 53, was seen grabbing a smoothie from luxury grocery market Erewhon with his girlfriend, Oksana Rykova, and a friend, after breaking his silence on the horror collision and being cleared of any criminal wrongdoing.
The actor, who sported a black Nike tank top and shorts for the outing, was pictured driving the truck that was allegedly involved in the accident earlier that morning.
Charvet's representative said that he 'is an animal lover and responsible dog owner who would never intentionally harm an animal' in a statement to People.
The spokesperson added that Charvet's thoughts 'are with the family who lost their dog.'
The entertainer was 'driving through his neighborhood in low-light conditions' at around 5:30 a.m. this morning when he 'encountered a neighbor walking three dogs off leash in the middle of the street,' the statement read. It conflicts the previous statement from the dog owner, who insisted the dogs were on leashes.

The representative claimed that Charvet 'slowed his vehicle and moved to the side to pass safely. As he did so, one of the dogs moved under the vehicle.'
He then 'immediately stopped, called 911, and remained at the scene until authorities arrived. He fully cooperated with the investigation and made himself available for any further help.'

The former singer shares them with ex-wife Brooke Burke and said he decided to make some changes to his lifestyle when his first child was born.
'Before I had my first child I was traveling for five years in 42 countries doing concerts for my music. There's no way I could do that again. I had to find a different meaning to my life,' he previously told Page Six.
'I didn't want to go and take a TV show that was in Canada, I didn't want to travel to Europe to do my music. I wanted to stay home and I wanted to be a good dad. I wanted to be there for my children every single day.'
The Melrose Place actor said he stumbled on his new career accidentally, while building a new house in Malibu in 2006.
The actor turned builder explained he was unhappy with the original contractor's work on the home, so he fired him and took over with help from the project manager.
'We finished the house, and every time that we invited people over … they were like, "My god this house is so beautiful. Do you think you could do it again?'''
Charvet's last on-screen performance was in 2013's Prisoners of the Sun.
The former actor returned to the small screen for as short stint in 2017, teaming up with then wife Brooke for The New Celebrity Apprentice.
However, the couple separated the following year, but the divorce wasn't finalized until 2020.

Transitioning to his new life after two decades in the spotlight was not without regrets.
The former Prisoners of the Sun star said he lost his identity for a while, but has reconciled to the change. 'My job today is I service people. I'm a service person. I'm no longer the star.
Charvet has kept busy with his new life and career.
He is a partner in The Jones Builders Group, a residential contracting company, in Los Angeles that builds between 10 and 14 houses a year.
