In August 2021, the drummer got on a plane for the first time since being in a deadly plane crash in 2008. The crash, which killed four people, including Barker's personal assistant and security guard, left him with third-degree burns on 65 percent of his body and a lengthy recovery that consisted of 16 surgeries, per The Independent. Following the traumatic incident, Barker was diagnosed with PTSD and refused to fly for many of Blink-182's concerts, but 13 years later, he got on a plane with the help of Kardashian.
In an interview with Nylon, Barker cited Kardashian as the reason he was able to overcome his fear of flying, saying, "It's still something very new to me, but having something that gives me the strength and hope to be able to overcome things that were so traumatic in my life, it just says a ton. [Kourtney]'s definitely that for me. I'm invincible when I'm with her. It's just like I never dreamed. I never even considered flying again."
