We're always up for a good old fashioned prank, but one Egyptian TV show has truly crossed the line with this prank on Paris Hilton.

In Dubai for the opening of a new hotel, the reality star was invited for an aerial tour of the city in the episode of Ramez in Control.

But just minutes into the flight the plane begins to plummet and alarms go off as part of the terrifying hoax.

The video shows Hilton screaming in horror as two actors parachute out of the plane, before crying "I'm not jumping!"

Responding on Twitter, Hilton describes the moment she thought she was going to die.
