A private jet carrying Colombian reggaeton singer Karol G was forced to make an emergency landing at a Los Angeles airport after the aircraft’s cockpit filled with smoke.

The 33-year-old Grammy winner and her entourage’s Gulfstream aircraft landed safely at Van Nuys Airport in Los Angeles late Thursday, according to ABC7.

The private aircraft took off from nearby Burbank Airport on Thursday evening with 16 people on board but soon turned around over Cajon Pass — 70 miles east of the airport — due to the midflight issue.

It made a smooth landing at Van Nuys Airport around 9 p.m. local time.

Upon landing, the white aircraft decorated with a barbed-wire heart logo, the same emblem tattooed on the singer’s arm, was greeted by airport emergency vehicles.

Karol G, whose real name is Carolina Giraldo Navarro, and her posse were captured walking off the plane and hugging on the tarmac following the in-flight scare.

She was also captured shaking what appeared to be the pilot’s hand as airport emergency crews tended to the plane.

The cause of the malfunction has not been revealed.

It is unclear if the singer or anyone else on board suffered any injuries.
