I was shutting the cockpit door and coming back to the galley and a ceiling panel fell down on the back of my head and neck. I called the Captain to let him know what happened. We returned to the gate; so that maintenance could fix it.We've had lots of panels falling from this aircraft and this aircraft came from the desert and was put into service.
We were pushing back and flight attendants called to say a panel fell from row XX. I called the cockpit to let them know and the pilot asked if I could close it. I went to the back to try but couldn't.  The pilot asked if I had any tape to close it and I said the only tape I had was in the Flight Attendant kit which was a blue sticker that I could use. So I taped it up; but it fell during landing.  We also had another panel fall and hit a passenger in the head. We had a Supervisor come meet the flight to talk to the passenger.  Row XX1 had a panel down during our pre-flight check and we called for mechanics to come fix it. This plane just came out of the desert and was put into service. The aircraft also just came from the hangar.
Air Carrier flight attendants reported a few ceiling panels fell and hit a flight attendant and a passenger. Flight attendants stated the aircraft had been parked in the desert.
