Frances Bean Cobain has revealed that she was on board the recent Air France flight from Paris to LA that caught fire mid-air.

Frances (daughter of Kurt Cobain and Courtney Love) revealed all about the nightmarish incident on Instagram, starting off by saying 'I've avoided talking about this because telling strangers struck me as a fruitless endeavor.But enough time has gone by to where I've sat with what this experience should mean on the grand scale of living my day to day life.'

She goes on to describe the ordeal: 'When I felt the plane tilt, saw the wing directly in front of me catch fire, and basically came to grips with my own mortality I made a deal with myself. I promised myself that if I made it through, that I would no longer try to escape the moments of my life. I would no longer indulge in societal cliches & I would let the people I love know how much I love them everyday. Thinking I would never see my mom or my boyfriend or my grams or my pets or my friends again, sparked a renaissance of the soul / mind / body / spirit. So I've entered the phase of my life where every moment is truly precious'.

The flight made an emergency landing in a military airfield in Newfoundland, Canada, before passengers boarded two separate Air France jets which took them the rest of the way, to LAX. No one was hurt, but there are some hair-raising accounts from passengers, as reported by The Telegraph - those with window seats described the entire engine exploding in a 'giant fireball'.

Frances Bean wasn't the first celebrity to be involved in a serious plane incident. Others include Sandra Bullock, Harrison Ford and Patrick Swayze - though the latter two were piloting their own private planes.
