Los Angeles County Sheriff: Nine Passengers On Board of Calabasas Crash, Lashes Out at TMZ

EXCERPT:

VILLANUEVA: “We're awaiting the arrival of the coroner’s office to assist in the recovery of the remains. As the chief indicated, there were no survivors. We have a manifest that indicates that there were nine people on board the aircraft. The pilot plus eight individuals. There is wide speculation of who the identities are. However, it is entirely inappropriate right now to identify anyone by name until the coroner has made the identification through their very deliberative process and they have made the notifications to the next of kin. And it would be extremely disrespectful to understand that your loved one has perished and you learn about it from TMZ. That is just wholly inappropriate, so we're not going to be going there. We are going to wait until the coroner does their job, and we are assisting the families of those who believe they have been impacted. It is a tough process.”
