Five people were killed Sunday when a helicopter crashed along a hillside in Calabasas.

The crash, in the area of Las Virgenes Road and Willow Glen Street, was called in at 9:47 a.m., according to a watch commander at the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department Lost Hills/Malibu station.

The helicopter was described as a Sikorsky S-76, Federal Aviation Administration spokesman Allen Kenitzer said.

There were no survivors, according to sheriff’s officials, who added that the crash triggered a small fire that was quickly put out.
