Recently, a video showing Paris Hilton falling for a prank by an Egyptian reality TV show went viral over the internet, something the 34-year-old celebrity DJ and hotel empire heiress was not too keen about.

The TV show "Ramez in Control, hosted by Ramez Wakel Elgaw, or Ramez Galal, pulled a "plain crash" prank on Hilton while she was on board a plane in Dubai. During the flight, the pranksters reenacted the rapid descent of the plane, the sudden clanging of alarms and the panicking of passengers to simulate events that take place immediately before a plane crash.

The simulated conditions and the passengers' acting misled Hilton, who panicked. The situation became more intense after a flight attendant jumped off the plane. "What is happening? Is this normal?," the terrified Hilton asked. After it was revealed to her that it was all just a prank, Hilton went on her Twitter account and tweeted: "Scariest moment of my life. I really believed the plane was going to crash & we were all going to die."

According to a TMZ report, a furious Hilton is planning to sue the TV show for the emotional distress brought about by the prank. TMZ added that Hilton had already called her lawyers to find out who was responsible, and they told her she has a solid case for emotional distress.

"She says the plane almost hit the water during the dive and then steeply pulled out of the dive, almost doing a loop as it ascended," stated the TMZ report. Hilton denies allegations that she and members of her camp were aware of and involved in the prank.
