Grammy-winning artist Karol G's private jet makes emergency landing in Los Angeles

A private jet carrying Grammy-winning artist Karol G had to make an emergency landing at a Los Angeles area airport on Thursday night due to a report of smoke in the cockpit.

Video footage from CNN affiliate KABC shows the plane landing safely at Van Nuys Airport. In the video, Karol G can be seen exiting the plane, which featured her signature barbed-wire heart logo and the logo for her current tour painted on the side.

Karol G's representative did not respond to a request for comment on Thursday night, and the singer did not mention the incident on her official Instagram channel. According to a statement from the Federal Aviation Administration on Friday morning, a twin-engine Gulfstream IV safely landed at Van Nuys Airport in California around 9 p.m. local time on Thursday, Feb. 29. The pilot had reported smoke in the cockpit during the flight, which had departed from Hollywood Burbank Airport and was en route to El Salvador International Airport.

Karol G won the Best Música Urbana Album Grammy Award this year for “Mañana Será Bonito.” She is also the winner of five Latin Grammys.

Editor's P/S:

I am relieved to hear that Karol G and everyone on board her private jet are safe after the emergency landing. It is a testament to the skill of the pilot and the safety measures in place for aviation. I hope that the investigation into the cause of the smoke in the cockpit will be thorough and that any necessary safety measures are implemented to prevent similar incidents in the future.

As a fan of Karol G's music, I am grateful that she was not injured in the incident. Her talent and positive energy bring joy to many people, and I wish her all the best in her future travels and performances.
