Gabriel ‘Fluffy’ Iglesias says he’s “happy to be alive” after his private jet skid off the runway and into a grass field Friday in North Carolina.
“Emergency landing!!! Our private jet skid off the runway and wound up in a field in Andrews, N. Carolina. Everyone is ok but shaken up. Happy to be alive. I love u all,” the 46-year-old comedian captioned an Instagram video of the plane and emergency crews on the ground at the Western Carolina Regional Airport.
TMZ reported that there were six passengers, two pilots and two chihuahuas on board.
No one appeared to be injured, according to dispatch paperwork obtained by The Post from Cherokee County E-911 Communications.
Iglesias also posted a screenshot of a TMZ story on the incident to Instagram, writing: “Thank u to the pilots who did what they had to do to get us on the ground safely. This could have been so bad. Grateful I live to see another day and YES I will be flying tomorrow … just not on this jet.”
He has a comedy show at 9 p.m. Friday at the Harrah’s Cherokee Event Center in Cherokee, NC, as part of his “Don’t Worry Be Fluffy” tour.
The Post has contacted reps for Iglesias, the Cherokee County Sheriff’s Office, and the Western Carolina Regional Airport for comment.
The National Transportation Safety Board told The Post that they don’t have any information to report from the accident at this time.
