Ashley Olsen, accompanied by her boyfriend, and other celebs were aboard a Los Angeles bound flight from New York on Sunday that was forced to make an emergency landing in Virginia.
An electrical fire sparked in the cockpit, causing the windshield to crack. Calling it a "harrowing experience," passenger and publicist Phil Lobel told ET that this "obscured the pilot's ability to conduct a visual landing."

Families, friends and a star-studded roster of guests gathered to pay their respects to the late Lena Horne today at the Church of Saint Ignatius Loyola in New York's Upper East Side. The legendary performer passed away on Sunday at age 92. At the funeral mass, Horne was remembered not only for her contributions to entertainment, but for paving the way for performers of color by battling racism in her industry.
