Travis Barker In Plane Crash

Four people were killed including two crew members and two passengers, while two people " Barker, and Hollywood disc jockey DJ AM - were seriously injured as the plane departed from a South Carolina airport.

Travis - star of MTVs Meet The Barkers - and DJ AM had performed Friday night at the Five Points block party in Columbia alongside Perry Farrell, the former Jane's Addiction singer and Gavin DeGraw.

Witness reports suggest sparks were seen coming from the plane on take-off before it went off the runway and crashed through a gate onto a nearby road.

An airport spokesperson confirmed the Lear 60 was headed to Van Nuys, California but was unable to confirm the names of who was on board the plane.

Barker and DJ AM " real name Adam Goldstein - have been inseparable since uniting to form the house-band at the 2008 MTV Video Music Awards a couple of weeks ago.

Both men remain in a South Carolina burn centre at the time of writing.
