The 31-year-old "Keeping Up with the Kardashians" star was on a plane travelling from Los Angeles to New York City when the terrifying incident occurred.
Minutes after take off pilots reported smoke was in the cockpit. To maximise passengers' safety, the plane's captain then decided to reroute and land in Las Vegas, where the aircraft touched down around 3:30PM local time.
No injuries were reported and everyone on the plane is believed to be in sound health following the occurrence, and Kardashian assured fans on Twitte that she and her make-up artist friend Joyce Bonelli were fine as well.
