Christian Oliver, a Hollywood actor, along with his two daughters, has passed away after being involved in a fatal plane crash in the Caribbean.

According to multiple sources, the aircraft that the family was traveling in suffered complications shortly after takeoff, causing it to plunge into the sea just off the island of St. Vincent.

The accident happened midday last Thursday, with officials stating that the one-engine plane only made it roughly one nautical mile offshore before puttering out and crashing into the waters. This loss rocked locals and Hollywood mainstays alike, with news that one such a young family was taken so soon.

The Grenadines Police Force posted a press release to Facebook to share news of the crash. In part, it wrote, “A small, one (1) engine aircraft, Registration Number N4023B, owned and piloted by Mr. Robert Sachs of Bequia, crashed into the sea, one (1) nautical mile West of Petit Nevis, sometime after midday (earlier today). There were three (3) passengers on board, namely: Mr. Christian Klepser, 51 years old, from the United States of America, and his two (2) daughters, Madita Klepser and Annik Klepser, 10 and 12 years old, respectively.”
