Jenny McCarthy broke her silence after her husband Donnie Wahlberg's private plane skidded off the runway at Las Vegas' Harry Reid International Airport on October 18.

The Masked Singer judge, 53, expressed her gratitude after Donnie, 57, escaped the terrifying incident unharmed.

Donnie revealed in an Instagram video that the jet he was on veered off the runway and hit a fence, which stopped the plane in its tracks.

Commenting on Donnie's video, Jenny said: "God is so good!!!!" alongside several prayer hands and red heart emojis.

Despite the dangerous situation that occurred just moments before, the star was grateful to be alive and expressed: "I'm just gonna tell ya – these pilots saved our lives and God covered us, cause we were – I'm not sure how many fences we avoided, but we didn't avoid the last one – but we avoided those trucks and heavy equipment and the dumpsters behind that."

The performer closed his eyes and took a deep breath before adding: "God is good. We just finished praying and I looked out the window and said, 'We are not going up in the air today.'"

He concluded: "But we're safe and thankful and all is well, okay? Don't worry. Praise God. Thank you Jesus."

Captioning the video, Donnie wrote: "Getting a lot of concerned messages and texts about my flight's failed attempt at leaving Las Vegas this morning. Thank you to all! I appreciate your concern and well wishes."

He continued: "I made this video for my friends and family, after the incident, but so many of you all are my family too so I figured I'd share with you. Yes, it was me and my team/friends onboard the aircraft. It was a rather intense few moments (which felt like a few long minutes).

"Thankful to God, of course, and to our incredible pilots who did an amazing job of keeping us safe and avoiding a serious disaster. The airplane did take some lumps — but we did not."

He added: "Thank you to all the emergency personnel on the ground in Las Vegas! You all were absolutely wonderful. All glory to God! By His grace, we are all ok. His #love truly is eternal."

Reflecting on the incident on his Instagram Stories later, Donnie shared a photo of himself and three pilots huddled together for a prayer, writing: "Heavenly father, thank you. Thank you for today.
