Actress Selma Blair was taken into care after a disturbance on board an aircraft, according to the Swedish newspaper Västerbottens-Kuriren. The paper reported the incident on Monday, 12 October 2026.
The report describes unrest on the plane and states that Blair was subsequently handled by authorities. Västerbottens-Kuriren did not specify in the headline or summary which airline was involved, where the flight was headed, or what prompted the disruption.
No further details were available in the material published by the newspaper. It is not known from the report whether anyone was injured, whether the flight was delayed or diverted, or what authority took Blair into care.
Blair is an American actress known for roles in films including "Cruel Intentions" and "Legally Blonde," and she has spoken publicly in recent years about her diagnosis with multiple sclerosis. None of that background is connected to the incident described by Västerbottens-Kuriren.
The circumstances surrounding the event remain unclear from the reporting available. Additional details may emerge as other outlets pick up the story or as authorities release information.
What to watch next: whether Västerbottens-Kuriren or other news organizations publish a fuller account identifying the airline, the flight's route, and the reason for the disturbance.
