On September 19, Shanna Moakler learned Travis Barker, her ex-husband with whom she had recently reconciled, had been in a plane crash that left the rocker, 32, with second- and third-degree burns on his hands and lower body.

The wreck also injured TRVS DJ-AM bandmate Adam "DJ A.M." Goldstein, 35, and killed four.

For the first time since the accident, the executive director of the Miss California USA competition, 33, spoke exclusively to Us Weekly.

Give Us the back story:

I was supposed to go with [Travis] to South Carolina, and at the last minute, I had this gnarly feeling and said, "I don't think we should fly together anymore." Go forbid something ever happened- our kids wouldn't have both parents. Instead of flying a commercial flight back home, they decided to take a private jet. He emailed me pictures of the plane and wrote, "It's really small and scary." I had a bad feeling, but didn't want to sound strange, so I said,"Be safe."

How did you find out about the crash?

When the paramedic called me, I thought it was [Travis and his bandmates] joking. I almost hung up on him. He said, "No, ma'am, I am very serious." I was like, "Oh, my God. What do I do?" and started crying.
