A small fire broke out in the cockpit of the plane, which was headed from New York to L.A. By Kara Warner Justin Bartha and Ashley Olsen Photo: Frazer Harrison/ Getty Images Ashley Olsen and boyfriend Justin Bartha are safe and sound after their flight from New York’s JFK to Los Angeles’ LAX had to make an emergency landing Sunday night when a small fire broke out in the cockpit of the plane. Fellow passenger and L.A.-based publicist Phil Lobel told E! News that Olsen and the “Hangover” actor were among around 100 passengers on the United flight, which was diverted to Washington, D.C.’s Dulles International Airport at about 9:30 p.m. after an electrical fire caused a crack in the plane’s windshield. Lobel told The Associated Press that about 30 minutes into the flight, he detected an electrical burning smell, and shortly thereafter, flight attendants began going over emergency instructions with passengers in the exit rows and someone brought up a fire extinguisher from the back of the plane. No injuries were reported, according to FAA spokeswoman Holly Baker, but fire trucks and about a half-dozen other emergency vehicles met the plane on the runway in D.C.; passengers were reportedly booked on outbound flights to Los Angeles on Monday morning (May 17). A rep for Olsen confirmed to E! News that the actress and Bartha were on the flight and that they are both OK. Olsen and Bartha weren’t the only actors aboard the plane: “Californication” actress Pamela Adlon and Jarrod Spector of Broadway’s “Jersey Boys” were also passengers. A rep for the National Transportation Safety Board said three people have been assigned to investigate the incident to determine the cause of the fire.
