Talk about a not-so-warm welcome!

After landing at the airport in Paris earlier today, Courtney Love got caught in the middle of a strike between taxi workers and local Uber drivers that quickly turned into a transportation nightmare!

"Scariest day of my life, ambushed at the airport in Paris by taxi drivers on strike against @uber got taken hostage and our car was destroyed," the 50-year-old singer posted on Instagram Thursday with a photo of her Uber car covered in what appears to be thrown eggs.

Love then shared an alarming video of Uber drivers and taxi workers yelling and fighting outside of her ride. "how on earth are these people allowed to do this?" she wrote. "the first car was destroyed, all tires slashed and beat with bats, these guys trying to open the doors and the cops are doing nothing?? French Taliban? civil reform needed in France?? I want to go home."

Luckily, Love's story had a happy ending and she made it to her destination.

"we got out after being held hostage for an hour thanks to these two guys. I'm scared out of my wits. Mr. François Hollande president or libertine? I can't believe this really just happened. love French people but your government blows #happytobealive #parisuberstrike wtf??" she wrote with an Instagram pic of her on the back of a motor bike.

Yikes!
