Redirect to home if the cart is empty in Woocommerce

I am looking for and can not find anywhere as I can redirect the empty woocommerce cart to the homepage. I only find redirects that go to the store.

This is what I find, but I do not need to redirect to the home:

add_action("template_redirect", 'redirection_function');
function redirection_function(){
    global $woocommerce;
    if( is_cart() && WC()->cart->cart_contents_count == 0){
        wp_safe_redirect( get_permalink( woocommerce_get_page_id( 'shop' ) ) );
    }
}

Context link: If cart is empty, the cart page will redirect to shop page in WooCommerce?

To redirect to home if cart is empty you will use a similar code:

add_action( 'template_redirect', 'empty_cart_redirection' );
function empty_cart_redirection(){
    if( WC()->cart->is_empty() && is_cart() ){
        wp_safe_redirect( esc_url( home_url( '/' ) ) );
        exit;
    }
}

Code goes in function.php file of your active child theme (active theme). Tested and works.

But if cart is emptied through ajax, this code will enable a redirection to home until the page will be reloaded.

For those finding this via search (like me) the code that Loic provided works with one small change if you're wanting the empty cart to redirect back to the homepage:

add_action( 'template_redirect', 'empty_cart_redirection' );
function empty_cart_redirection(){
    if( WC()->cart->is_empty() && ( ! is_front_page() || is_cart() ) ){
        wp_safe_redirect( esc_url( home_url( '/' ) ) );
        exit;
    }
}
