New Delhi : A tragic helicopter crash in Los Angeles, USA, has claimed the lives of three people, while another person sustained critical injuries after the aircraft crashed into the parking area of a large building. The incident triggered a major emergency response, with firefighters and rescue teams rushing to the crash site as flames spread through the parking area.

According to Los Angeles Fire Department spokesperson Captain Brandon Silverman, the helicopter came down in a parking lot, causing substantial damage to vehicles parked nearby.

Authorities are also working to establish the exact circumstances surrounding the crash, including the helicopter’s movements before the accident and the number of people who were on board. As recovery operations continue, investigators will examine the wreckage for clues that could help establish the cause of the deadly incident.
