An unimaginable tragedy involving a Hollywood family has occurred in the Caribbean.

Along with Christian—real name Christian Klepser—his daughters Annik, 12, and Madita, 10, also died in the crash along with the one-engine plane's pilot and owner, Robert Sachs.
"The aircraft went airborne from the J.F. Mitchell Airport in Paget Farm about 12:11 p.m. for St. Lucia as its final destination," the Royal St. Vincent and the Grenadines Police Force stated. "Moments after taking off, the aircraft experienced difficulties and plummeted into the ocean."
"Fishermen and divers from Paget Farm went to the scene of the incident in their boats to render assistance," authorities continued. "The SVG Coast Guard was informed and quickly traveled to Paget Farm, Bequia, to lead in the rescue efforts."

"The RSVGPF expresses condolences to all who are negatively affected by this tragic incident," the message concluded. "The RSVGPF will update the public as more information is gathered. Investigation into the matter continues."
