Latest on deadly news helicopter crash in Los Angeles

A reporter, a pilot and one person on the ground were killed when a news helicopter crashed in Los Angeles near the scene of a deadly bus collision in what Mayor Karen Bass called a "heartbreaking night for our city."

Both incidents unfolded Tuesday in Chatsworth, a suburban neighborhood in the San Fernando Valley.

The helicopter crashed between two commercial buildings in a fiery blaze shortly before 7 p.m. local time, officials said.

NBC Los Angeles confirmed that its reporter Eliana Moreno and pilot George Marciniw were killed, saying the duo "logged hundreds of hours together in the sky" on stories including the January 2025 wildfires.
