Travis and DJ were critically injured after a small Learjet they were passengers in crashed during takeoff in Columbia, South Carolina. Two passengers and two crew members were killed. An FAA spokesperson said the plane with six people attempted to take off shortly before midnight Friday from Columbia, South Carolina when staff in the tower report seeing sparks. The plane went off the runway and crashed on a highway embankment, catching fire.

Travis was taken by ambulance to Joseph M. Still Burn Center in Augusta, GA with burns to his lower body, and DJ AM was airlifted to the same burn center with facial injuries. They are both currently listed in critical but stable condition. Apparently they saved their own lives by climbing out of the burning aircraft after it crashed to the ground.

MSNBC confirmed that 29-year-old Chris Baker of Studio City, CA was one of the passengers who died in the crash. Chris, who is known as “Little Chris,” was Travis’ assistant.

25-year-old Charles Still of Riverside, CA has been identified another passenger who died in the crash. Charles was Travis’ bodyguard.

MSNBC reports that the female pilot, Sarah Lemmon, and the male co-pilot, James Bland, died in the crash.
