Brooke Shields is “fine” after being involved in a plane crash.

The 44-year-old actress and actor Jim Belushi had landed at a private airport in Hearst Castle, California, on Friday October 2, when the plane collided with a parked Sports Utility Vehicle (SUV).

Sheriff’s spokesman Rob Bryn explained, “The pilot got out, but he forgot to set the parking brake.”

Brooke’s representative Jill Fritzo added, “It was an unfortunate accident but thankfully everyone is fine.”

The incident happened after the pilot had disembarked and was helping Brooke, Jim and other passengers get out

The plane rolled into the vehicle, with its wing breaking a wing-mirror and causing damage to the side of the car.

However, no injuries have been reported.

Brooke, Jim and other people traveling on the aircraft were on their way to a private function.

In August, Ashton Kutcher and wife Demi Moore were involved in a mid-air scare when their plane was forced to make an emergency landing.

After the incident, Ashton wrote on his Twitter page, “My plane just had to do an emergency landing. Engine over heated. Fire engines everywhere good times. happy to be alive. (sic)”

Mila Kunis “ripped a piece of her neck off” while shooting ‘Forgetting Sarah Marshall’.

The 26-year-old actress was left “gushing blood” after an accident on set, and now bears a prominent scar.

She told FOX News, “I’ve had so many injuries! I actually ripped out a little piece of my neck off in ‘Forgetting Sarah Marshall’. It happened when we were in the water.

“Jason Segal is holding my neck. He’s holding it because I’m bleeding – you only see half my neck. The other side is gushing.”

Mila is not the only star to get injured on set recently.

Rose McGowan had part of her elbow removed after she injured it filming a stunt for new action film ‘Red Sonja’.

The former ‘Charmed’ star explained, “I had surgery and they took part of my elbow out. I had really bad nerve damage from doing stunts – I do a lot of my own stunts.

“I could no longer use my arm, but now I can hold a fork and drive so we’re working our way up. It’ll probably be another six months of rehab.”

Travis Barker and DJ AM in Critical Condition After Plane Crash

DJ AM (Adam Goldstein) and Travis Barker of former Blink-182 fame have been critically injured in a plane crash in South Carolina. After performing at a free concert held in Columbia, they caught a Learjet 60 to head back to Van Nuys, which took off at 11:53 p.m. on Friday night.

Sparks were seen as the airplane traveled down the runway, and it crashed through the antenna arena at the end of the runway and through the fence that surrounded it. The plane burst into flames as it hurdled across a roadway, and DJ AM and Travis are said to have saved their lives by jumping out of the plane almost immediately after it crashed. They were seen tearing off their burning clothes after leaving the plane.

DJ AM and Travis Barker are currently being treated for severe burns. DJ AM suffered extensive burns on his face, while Travis Barker has been burned badly from the waist down.

The four named dead by the coroner were pilot Sarah Lemmon, 31; co-pilot James Bland, 52; Chris Baker, 29; and Charles Still, 25.
