pagesix.com —

Actress Amy Jo Johnson said she is "happy to be alive" after a private jet carrying her and Donnie Wahlberg skidded off a Las Vegas runway during takeoff, crashing into a perimeter fence. No injuries were reported, but two runways were closed, causing flight delays. The Dassault Falcon 50 failed to get airborne at Harry Reid International Airport, overshooting the pavement and hitting a fence. Wahlberg credited the pilots with saving lives by avoiding obstacles, and both he and Johnson shared updates on Instagram confirming everyone aboard was safe. The pair were in Las Vegas for New Kids on the Block's residency, The Right Stuff, at Dolby Live. The Federal Aviation Administration declared an "aircraft emergency" and temporarily halted flights for inspection.
