Proper holomorphic disks in the complement of varieties in $\mathbb{C}^2$

We prove that for any complete pluripolar set $X\subset\C^2$ (in particular for any analytic subset) there exists a proper holomorphic embedding $\phi\colon\triangle\emb\C^2$ of the open unit disk $\triangle\subset\C$ such that $\phi(\triangle)\cap X=\emptyset$. It follows that the same holds true in $\C^n$ for any $n >1$.
