Southern California officials say five people are dead after a small plane crashed into a house, setting it on fire.
Orange County Sheriff's Lieutenant Cory Martino said the pilot died as well as four occupants of the home in Yorba Linda, which is about 56km southeast of Los Angeles.
Martino said two other people were taken to hospital with moderate injuries.
A spokesman with the National Transportation Safety Board said the twin-engine Cessna 414A crashed shortly after taking off from a nearby airport.
Video showed plane parts scattered on the ground and on rooftops.
