Avengers star Scarlett Johansson was left frightened after paparazzi are thought to have become dangerously close as she left a taping of Jimmy Kimmel Live.

An LAPD spokesperson confirmed that the actress was jostled by a crowd of cameramen outside the theatre on Hollywood Boulevard but was not injured.

She was given a police escort and taken to a local LAPD station but she did not file a police report.

NBC reporter Robert Kovacik confirmed the reports, tweeting that the 34-year-old star was now home safe.

Scarlett had spent the evening at a taping of the nightly chat show with her Marvel co-stars with Roberty Downey Jr, Chris Hemsworth and Paul Rudd.
