Emergency personnel responded when a fire broke out.

The black box will give better details. Did the fire break out before the crash or after the plane crashed? I noticed the foggy conditions and I'm very familiar with Las Virgines Rd. as a friend and I would take that route on way to Malibu to go sailing. It is never a good idea to be flying in such fogging conditions like that. Even driving those curvy roads in foggy conditions can be disastrous.

The black box will give better details.

Unlikely there was one; black boxes are not required on private aircraft, but there are radar tracks and transponder data, along with pilot status reports, that give plenty of clues. Eyewitness said he heard it flying low and heard the crash, then saw the fire and smoke; the fire was caused by the crash.

If interested, you can follow the ATC/radar transmissions by clicking here.

I really don't give a shit about sportsball bouncers, but I did wonder about the meandering circles over Burbank (see the link in my post #5) - this audio answers that; they were held and prevented from flying over Burbank Airport airspace until a couple of planes had completed their landings.

It looks from the radio, flight path, weather, terrain and altitude that the pilot made some very stupid decisions to fly low into a canyon area in foggy conditions.

I have a pilot license around here somewhere; visualizing this 35-min flight in my head gave me the shivers; what a monumentally dumb idea to proceed to the endpoint.

I think Bryant owned this helicopter, and the probably-employee pilot is dead too, so there's nobody to sue for negligence. Looking at the flight-data websites, this was a fairly-busy machine, which leads me to conclude the pilot was probably on his payroll and on-call most or all of the time.

I read where Bryant took the helicopter everywhere he went. Seems that it was his favorite mode of travel.
