Paris Hilton has reportedly revealed she plans to sue the makers of the actor's Ramez Galal in Control show, after she was left fearing for her life during a controversial prank pulled by the Egyptian TV host.
After a video went viral showing Paris screaming and crying hysterically while the small plane she was on nearly crashed, the heiress is now building a case against the television production who pulled the prank off.

Although the 34-year-old DJ seemed to have laughed it off when it was revealed to her that it was all a joke, sources are now saying that the "Simple Life" star is furious about the stunt.
Hilton took to Twitter tweeting that the prank was, “the scariest moment of my life.”
Scariest moment of my life. I really believed the plane was going to crash & we were all going to die. https://t.co/nWG1eQjl4P — Paris Hilton (@ParisHilton) June 28, 2015
According to American blogger Perez Hilton, she was so traumatized by the stunt that she may no longer be able to fly and might sue for emotional distress.
The horrifying experience has left Paris “totally freaked out,” a source tells TMZ. Unfortunately for Paris, flying from city to city is part of her job, so backing out from commitments is not exactly that easy.

Paris has claimed that she did not know about the prank, nor did anyone in her camp. She is also claiming that the prank was actually much worse than it appears on video.
According to the heiress, the plane nearly hit the water and then at the very last minute pulled up into a steep incline that felt like a loop to her.

Ramez specializes in producing audacious specials that air during the month of Ramadan, but many have been shocked by the nature of the stunt.
It's not known for sure when the TV prank was filmed but Paris makes no mention of the experience on her social media accounts until the video became viral.
She's currently busy promoting her new single "High Off My Love" and has been making lots of promotional appearances.
