    Caitlyn Jenner has spoken out from a bomb shelter in Israel as missile strikes from Iran rain down.

    The former Olympics gold medalist says she's become trapped in the country after Israel initiated a strike against Iran on Thursday (June 12.)

    Jenner, a transgender woman, travelled to Israel to attend the Pride Month parade in Tel Aviv scheduled for Friday when the chaos erupted and Iran launched retaliatory attacks on the city.

    Organizers swiftly cancelled the event for safety concerns, and Jenner ended up stuck when all flights from the airport were grounded.

    She confirmed on social media that she was taking extra precautions to be safe by taking sanctuary in a bomb shelter.

    "We are back in the shelters in Tel Aviv. This looks like it is the third wave of attack from Iran," Jenner wrote.

    The 75-year-old and parent-of-six was also reportedly drinking wine and texting her many family members while the missiles rained down near her Tel Aviv hotel on Friday night, according to the Daily Mail.

    "Please pray," she wrote in a message. "I'm holding up okay."

    When asked if the bombs were loud, she simply wrote back: "Yes."

    Jenner shared a selfie alongside influencer Regev Gur while clutching a glass of red wine from inside the shelter.

    Gur captioned the image: "What were you doing with the alarms? Because I'm drinking wine with Caitlyn."

    Prior to becoming 'trapped,' the reality TV star had posted dozens of photographs of her trip to Israel in some of the region's iconic areas, including Kibbutz Be'eri, the Nova Festival site, and the Western Wall in the Old City of Jerusalem.

    She wrote in the caption: "Yesterday in Jerusalem. My heart is with Israel now and forever. Evil shall not prevail!" alongside Israeli and US flag emojis.

    Jenner had also expressed support for the country amid its ongoing conflict with Palestine ahead of her visit, writing: "I am excited to share that I will be in Israel this week. I’m visiting the resilient people of Israel as the nation continues to recover and restore its place in the Middle East. Stay tuned!"

    However, her dream trip was cut short as she posted another image of missiles flying through the night air over the city skyline.

    "‘Quiet’ night in Tel Aviv. Pray for us all," she captioned the snap. "We will prevail. I am happy to stand with Israel today, now more than ever."

    Member's of Jenner's family reportedly told the news outlet how excited she was to be visiting and attending the LGBTQ+ parade.

    "She was very excited to be there for the parade," the unnamed family member told the Daily Mail. "This was a bucket list item. It was supposed to be a great time."

    Several buildings were destroyed in the strike and dozens more injured in Israel as missiles broke through the country's Dome air defense system.

    Shocking footage from the city shows rockets intercepted along the Tel Aviv skyline while air raid shelters rang out in the streets.

    Jenner has reportedly been in contact with the American Embassy who has advised her to stay sheltered in a windowless area close to her hotel.
