Actress Emilie de Ravin has a beef with American Airlines.

The former Lost star, 34, who gave birth to her first child in March, took to Twitter Thursday to rant about a flight attendant who, she alleged, 'ripped' a bag containing a breast pump from her as she boarded a plane in LA.

'Dear @AmericanAir I was grabbed forcefully,my carry on bag ripped out of my hand @ lax this morning by AA employee A. 3 witnesses,' she tweeted. 'By and @AmericanAir female employee...Please kindly dismiss this woman from @americanair employment.'

Angry: Emilie de Ravin from ABC's Once Upon A Time took to Twitter to demand American Airlines fire a female flight attendant who she claims 'ripped' a carry on bag out of her hand

The Once Upon A Time cast member, who has a daughter Vera with boyfriend, director Eric Bilitch, went on to call the female flight attendant 'disgusting' and demanded she be fired.

'Luckily our pilot was very kind and helpful & apologetic on woman's behalf & assisted in getting her name & instructions on who to contact to report her,' she tweeted.

'However ther (sic) is NO excuse 4 physical force being used on someone trying to take her breast pump carry on.NOT OK @AmericanAir #accountability,' she continued.

'Apart from this incident and DISCUSTING [sic] woman, thank you for a smooth and safe flight.'

Twitter rant: The actress, 34, who had a six month old daughter, posted a series of tweets detailing what she claimed happened as she boarded a plane in Los Angeles on Thursday

In a statement, American Airlines told E! News it is 'looking into the situation and apologizes to the customer for the inconvenience.'

'Passengers are allowed to have two carry-on items,' the airline said.

'A breast pump is considered a medical device and should've been allowed on the plane, which eventually it was.'
