Kristen Bell and husband Dax Shepard appeared to be at their wit's end as they attempted to deal with issues at the airport.

There's not much worse than experiencing problems at the airport but it can be even more annoying when all the inconveniences only appear to be getting worse.

We have all had the misfortunate of travel delays though so... I suppose it is something that unifies us all.

But when you are a celebrity, you likely don't expect to be turfed out of an airport when you are trying to sleep.

However, this seems to be what happened to Bell, Shepard and their kids last year.

They ended up stranded with their two children after a whopping nine-hour delay at the Boston Logan International Airport.

After the family realized that they would have to wait for so long without access to a hotel, they decided to splash out on pillows and sheets in order to make a DIY bed on the floor of the airport so that they could take a nap.

According to Bell, who took to Instagram to tell the story, they couldn’t find a hotel within 50 miles and didn’t have another choice.

She wrote: “Stranded at the Boston airport, 9 hours of delays.”

“We made quite a home here,” The Good Place star captioned a photo of herself with a toothbrush in her mouth.

Her husband also made his own post on the social media platform in which he noted there were 'ZERO vacancies in the greater Boston area'.

In the video, Bell could be seen joking that she was making the airport her home, and that she must take her shoes off 'when I’m in my bedroom', as she went to get into her makeshift bed.

Then Shepard can be seen lying on the floor with a neck pillow and blanket as they discussed the money it cost to create their own dwellings.

“Could have been a really nice hotel, but they’re all taken,” he said.

To which Bell replied: “It’s $600 a night to stay at Boston International Airport.”

But they were soon 'kicked out' by security, though a friend came to save the day and let the family stay the night.

“Thankfully we found friends of friends who offered us their attics and accepted us at 1 am!!!!!!” Bell captioned another picture of beds at her friend’s place.

Instagram users were shocked at the celebrity family was 'kicked out' of the airport.

One commented: “I truly don’t mean this to be mean but I didn’t think this stuff happened to rich people.”

While another praised the pair for being so real, writing: “I love that you guys are just normal f**king people.”
