After making light of her flight delay at New York's John F. Kennedy Airport by getting a chair massage with fellow celebrities, actress Bella Thorne slammed Virgin Atlantic on Twitter for 'being stranded' for '14 hours.'

A London-bound plane about to take off from the JFK Airport was grounded after its wing hit a fence on Saturday at 8.30am while being pushed back from the gate by a tug.

The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey said there were no injuries on Flight 26.

Also on board the plane were supermodel Bella Hadid and Thorne's boyfriend, actor Gregg Sulkin.

Despite the scary situation, Thorne shared a photo to Instagram that appeared to show the trio of young celebrities to be in good spirits while relaxing in large massage chairs in the airport.

It seems as though the relaxing moment didn't last long as Thorne, who is 17 years old, took to Twitter hours after sharing the photo and slammed Virgin Atlantic for leaving them 'stranded at the airport for 14 hours with no where to rest and no other options for flight.'

The actress, who is also a singer and model, said on Twitter that Virgin Atlantic 'is the worst airlines in the history of airlines' and that she 'strongly' suggests people to 'never ever fly with them.'

The 'My Own Worst Enemy' star tweeted to her more than six million followers that the airline 'risked' their lives 'with poor airport skills' and left them to 'fend' for themselves.

She also pointed out that there were several other flight options and suggested that Virgin Atlantic 'refund' her 'upper class ticket' so that she could purchase a flight on American Airlines.

Speaking to Mail Online, Thorne shared she tweeted about her experience because she knows other customers were affected by the airline's actions.

She said that the airline apologized to her, but did not offer her a refund and instead booked her on a flight that departed JFK later in the evening on Saturday.

Thorne added that her intention was 'never to make a fuss' and to just get the situation resolved.

Another passenger, who was on his way home to London, told PIX11 that 'it looks like ground staff weren't paying attention' at the time of the incident.

The passenger said the 'plane shuddered as it hit the wall.'

Twitter rant: Thorne continued by sending the tweet above saying that the airline 'risked' their lives

Options: The 17-year-old actress claimed that there were other flights and options to get on another flight in a 'normal situation'

Refund: Thorne sent the tweet above to the airline company suggesting that all they had to do is 'refund' her 'upper class ticket' so she could buy a ticket for a different flight

Another passenger Carson Ross, 29, shared with the New York Post what it felt like on the plane when the wing tip hit the fence.

'The plane was backing out... about 50 feet I felt a jolt and the engine cut off right away,' Ross said.

'We sat for an hour and the story kept flip-flopping.

'Finally they said they are bringing stairs and we are to get off because they don't want to move the plane.'

Port Authority spokesman Steve Coleman said the 276 people on board were bused back to the terminal.

Supermodel Bella Hadid was on board the aircraft and posted to Twitter that 'My Plane just hit a wall'

A Virgin Atlantic spokesperson said the crash was a cause of 'a miscalculation by the tug'.

'The VS26 departing from JFK to London Heathrow today returned to the gate after a miscalculation by the tug caused minor damage to one of its wing tips.
