Caitlyn Jenner has found herself stranded in Israel after Iranian missile strikes led to the cancellation of Tel Aviv's Pride Parade, where she was scheduled to appear as guest.
The former Olympian and transgender activist is staying at the David Intercontinental Hotel in Tel Aviv, according to Israel Hayom.
The pride event, planned for Friday, was called off due to security concerns following Israel's military strikes on Iranian nuclear sites and military targets.
The operation involved more than 200 warplanes and reportedly killed at least four Iranian military commanders.
Ben Gurion airport has been shut down and flights to and from Israel have been suspended, preventing Jenner and other visitors from leaving the country.
Jenner spoke with her daughter Kylie during the crisis, who urged her to stay safe. "I reassured her," Jenner told an Israeli television news station. "Don't worry, I'll keep myself safe, and they'll take care of me."

The reality television personality took to social media platform X to share a photograph showing dozens of missiles flying overhead with smoke rising from the ground.
"'Quiet' night in Tel Aviv. Pray for us all. We will prevail. I am happy to stand with Israel today, now more than ever," she wrote.
On Instagram, Jenner posted: "Yesterday in Jerusalem. My heart is with Israel now and forever. Evil shall not prevail!"
The message included images of Israeli and American flags alongside a photograph of her at Jerusalem's Western Wall with her head bowed.

Israel deployed its warplanes in the early hours of Friday morning in a coordinated strike against Iranian military and nuclear sites.
Earlier in the week, Jenner had visited Kibbutz Be'eri and the Nova Festival site, where she heard firsthand accounts from survivors of the October 7 massacre.
On Thursday, she visited Jerusalem's Western Wall and posted a picture on social media with the caption: "My heart is here, with the beautiful people, in Israel."
The Israeli Defence Force (IDF) identified missile launches from Iran towards Israel and stated that its defence systems are in operation to intercept the threat.
Members of the Israeli public were told to shelter in protected spaces.
Some 40 people have been injured in the attack, with two of them in a critical condition.
Iran's Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, said Israel started the strikes and initiated the war, and will not be allowed to do a "hit and run" attack.
Khamenei said: "The Zionist regime (Israel) will not remain unscathed from the consequences of its crime. The Iranian nation must be guaranteed that our response will not be half-measured."
He emphasised that Iran will "inflict heavy blows" on Israel.
