No. So-called "falling stars" are in fact meteors, which are tiny bits of dirt that burn up in the atmosphere, giving a streak in the sky giving the name "falling stars" or "shooting stars". An actual star getting near Earth would burn up the Earth. The nearest star to us is the Sun, at about 93 million miles away. There is no chance of it hitting us.

Why doesn't the north star ever fall?
The phrase "falling star" is a misnomer. Stars do not actually fall (except celebrity stars). The smallest possible star dwarf's earth in terms of mass--if earth and a star were to ever collide, it would be the earth doing most of the falling. Tidal forces would then rip our planet asunder as it fell into any star. Also, the North Star (Polaris) is about 430 light years away. Meteors, so called "falling stars," are all tiny bits of debris swept up as earth orbits the sun--typically no more than a few light minutes from earth at their furthest distance from us.
