Terrified America rock star Courtney Love today told how her car was smashed up and her driver 'taken hostage' after getting caught up in violent demonstrations in Paris.
The 50-year-old actress and singer tweeted pictures and videos from inside her taxi after it was attacked by cabbies protesting against rival firm Uber.
She said: 'They've ambushed our car and are holding our driver hostage. They're beating the cars with metal bats. This is France?? I'm safer in Baghdad.'
Her car was attacked shortly after she landed at Charles de Gaulle airport this morning as mobs of taxi drivers blockaded roads and targeted Uber drivers, even flipping some of their cars over.
The widow of Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain tweeted rapper Kanye West saying: 'We may turn back to the airport and hide out with you.'
