The Mean Girls star is on holiday in Morocco and went on a shopping trip with friends at the weekend.

But Lohan was terrified to come face-to-face with a gun-wielding man - who she was convinced wanted to kill her.

In a post on her personal Twitter.com page, she writes, ""I was walking... with the security guard & some guy was following me, then pulled up in his car & pointed a GUN at me!

""I was on the phone (with) my mum & I screamed and ducked & the guy started laughing & pushed the trigger & it was a fake gun. I was crying...he scared me.""
