Colombian singer Karol G, known for hits like “Ahora Me Llama,” recently faced a frightening situation as her private jet was forced to make an emergency landing in Los Angeles on February 29. Despite the scare, Karol G took to Instagram to reassure fans of her safety.
In a statement shared on her Instagram story on March 1, Karol G, whose real name is Carolina Giraldo Navarro, expressed gratitude, saying, “Thank you to everyone who has been concerned and to those who have checked in with messages. My family, my team and I are all very well and grateful for a new opportunity. God takes care of us and blesses us daily with life and health.”
The emergency landing at Van Nuys Airport in Los Angeles was prompted by a mid-air incident where the cockpit of the private jet began filling up with smoke, as reported by KABC-TV. The plane, which took off from Burbank Airport flying east, quickly turned around after the pilots alerted a control tower about the developing situation.
Footage shared by Key News Network captured the moment Karol G and others disembarked the plane, visibly relieved. Fortunately, no injuries were reported, and everyone on board safely evacuated the aircraft.
This harrowing incident follows a series of recent successes for Karol G. She made her acting debut alongside Sofia Vergara in the Netflix series “Griselda,” released on January 25. Additionally, the singer won her first Grammy Award on February 4 and was honored as Billboard’s 2024 Woman of the Year on February 8.
Karol G, with five Latin Grammy Awards to her name and numerous other accolades, is currently on the Latin American leg of her “Mañana Será Bonito Tour.” Despite the recent scare, a scheduled performance in Guatemala on March 1 is expected to proceed.
The incident underscores the unpredictability of life, even for celebrities enjoying professional triumphs.
