Kim Kardashian's birthday was thrown into chaos after her private jet failed to land in Las Vegas, a flight that was scheduled to take 17 minutes.
The reality TV star was celebrating her 42nd birthday with pals and in true Kardashian style went all out and booked a ride on her sister Kylie Jenner's $72.8million private jet.
Kim's plan was to continue the late night celebrations in a different state, but that didn't quite go to plan, reports The Mirror.
After a slap up meal, Kim and her girlfriends hopped aboard 'Kylie Air' to travel to Sin City and watch Usher perform, before heading back home.
"Vegas baby!" an excited Kim told the camera as she was filmed boarding the white jet clad in a glittering diamond encrusted bra and matching flared trousers as a troupe of showgirls waved her on.
Kylie's jet had been decked out with birthday balloons, feather boas, personalised Kim shots and masks of Kim's face everywhere for the party to continue in the air.
There was even a personalised Kim cocktail menu, with her passengers supping KimTinis, Billionaire's Beverage and the imaginatively titled Keeks' Kougar Kourage.
Despite the incredible effort, luck was not on the Kardashians' side for the night.
Due to severe weather conditions, the party plane was not able to touch down in Vegas as scheduled.
An upset Kim returned to Instagram to tell her followers, "The plane couldn't land due to the wind so looks like our party and Usher concern isn't happening.
"We are heading back home," announced the disappointed birthday girl.
Kim's younger sister Khloe also shared her upset at the situation, as she seen on a phone call to Usher himself explaining why they wouldn't be meeting up with him as planned.
While back in Los Angeles, Kim and her entourage consoled themselves with a trip to fast food chain In-N-Out Burger where they loaded up on cheeseburgers and fries.
The private jet failure coms after Kim and her sisters had been branded 'climate criminals' and 'tone deaf' for bragging about their short jaunts repeatedly on Instagram.
Kylie came under fire after a Twitter user revealed that she had flown 17 minutes in the air to avoid a 45 minute drive.
Three days later, Kylie ignored the backlash by sharing a caption of herself and beau Travis Scott on board their jet with the caption 'You wanna take mine or yours?"
After turning 42 on October 21st, Kim had celebrated on the day with an intimate dinner party, attended by her closest friends and family.
It comes two years after Kim sparked huge controversy by jetting her pals off to a private island in the midst of the Covid pandemic.
The Skims founder told her fans that before the health crisis, people “truly appreciate what a simple luxury it was to be able to travel and be together with family and friends in a safe environment.”
Explaining her decision, Kim said the group had been able to travel safely after two weeks of “multiple health screens” and asking her guests to quarantine.
Kim gushed that they had been able to 'pretend things were normal just for a brief moment in time.'
It was at the undisclosed private island that Kim's now ex-husband Kanye West surprised her with a hologram of her late father Robert Kardashian.
The gift is said to have left the entire family in floods of tears.
