Power Rangers star Amy Jo Johnson has revealed that she was on the same private jet as Donnie Wahlberg that skidded off the runway and crashed into a fence.

The actress, 56, posted images from the incident on Instagram this week and opened up about the terrifying experience.

‘It was an eventful weekend. That’s for sure. Watching the incredible Donnie Wahlberg and his mates crush it in their last show in Vegas,’ she began.

‘And then surviving a very hairy plane situation. But we did. And I’m grateful and very happy to be alive!’

She also shared a photo from inside the plane, as well as an image of the plane’s wing hitting the fence.

Another emotional image showed the flight crew praying on the tarmac with Wahlberg.

Wahlberg commented on the post, writing, ‘You rock Amy Jo! So thankful for you, and for my buddy Matt! So very blessed!’

The actor, 57, already addressed concerned fans earlier this week after the jet veered off the runway during a failed take-off at Las Vegas’ Harry Reid International Airport on Sunday.

The plane crashed into a fence with emergency services responding to the scene. No injuries were reported.

On Monday, Wahlberg took to Instagram with a video saying, ‘Getting a lot of concerned messages and texts about my flight’s failed attempt at leaving Las Vegas this morning. Thank you to all!’

He continued, ‘I appreciate your concern and well wishes. I made this video for my friends and family, after the incident, but so many of you all are my family too so I figured I’d share with you.

‘Yes, it was me and my team/friends onboard the aircraft. It was a rather intense few moments (which felt like a few long minutes).

‘Thankful to God, of course, and to our incredible pilots who did an amazing job of keeping us safe and avoiding a serious disaster.’

He finished, ‘The airplane did take some lumps — but we did not. Thank you to all the emergency personnel on the ground in Las Vegas! You all were absolutely wonderful. All glory to God! By His grace, we are all ok.’

Two runways were closed for inspection after the incident and the Federal Aviation Administration temporarily paused planned flights to the airport, causing delays, per AP.

As of August, the airport had over 370,000 operations and more than 34 million passengers so far in 2026.

The Daily Mail has contacted representatives for comment.

Wahlberg has been travelling back and forth from Vegas for the New Kids on the Block’s first ever Las Vegas residency, The Right Stuff, at the Dolby Live in Park MGM.

The residency concluded over the weekend after a string of dates.

Wahlberg is also busy with his acting career, with the former Blue Bloods star now fronting the show’s spin-off series, Boston Blue.

The CBS police procedural is currently in the middle of airing its second season.

Meanwhile, Wahlberg’s wife is a judge on The Masked Singer and also hosts her own podcast called The Jenny McCarthy Wahlberg Show.
