Selma Blair has apologised to passengers and crew who witnessed her shocking outburst on a plane bound for Los Angeles on Monday.

The 43-year-old Cruel Intentions star was taken off a Delta flight from Cancun, Mexico on a stretcher after reportedly losing her cool on the trip.

Witnesses told TMZ that she was travelling in first-class and mixing prescription medication with wine. 

“He burns my private parts. He won’t let me eat or drink,” she reportedly yelled on the plane. “He beats me. He’s going to kill me.”

Blair was travelling with her son Arthur, aged four, and ex-boyfriend Jason Bleick to celebrate Father's Day.

Blair has no apologised for her actions on the plane

The actress has since released a statement apologising for her actions, admitting she mixed alcohol with pills.

"I made a big mistake [on Monday]. After a lovely trip with my son and his Dad, I mixed alcohol with medication, and that caused me to black out and led me to say and do things that I deeply regret," she told Vanity Fair.

"My son was with his Dad asleep with his headphones on, so there is that saving grace.

"I take this very seriously, and I apologise to all of the passengers and crew that I disturbed and am thankful to all of the people who helped me in the aftermath.

"I am a flawed human being who makes mistakes and am filled with shame over this incident. I am truly very sorry."

Blair recently played Kris Jenner in The People v. O. J. Simpson: American Crime Story.
