Horrifying video shows moment helicopter crash that killed singer Oliver Tree plunges to ground

A horrifying video shows the moment one of the two helicopters involved in the crash that killed singer Oliver Tree plunges to the ground.

In surveillance footage released by Rio de Janeiro’s Military Fire Department, the aircraft can be seen spinning out of control and falling into a car dealership’s parking lot in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, before causing a massive fire that engulfed more than 20 cars.

Witness Fernandes de Freitas claimed one person could be seen jumping from one of the helicopters before they both crashed, according to NBC News.

“It was terrifying, absolutely horrifying,” the tire-repair workman said.

The cause of the crash has not been confirmed and officials are investigating the collision.

Six people were killed when two helicopters collided in the air early Sunday morning while flying over an electric vehicle yard in Recreio dos Bandeirantes, in the Southwest zone of Rio de Janeiro.

At least 20 cars were set on fire from the collision after being hit at the crash site, CNN reported.

One of the helicopters — a Bell 206B JetRanger III —  was carrying 32-year-old Tree, Argentinian influencer Gaspar Prim, passengers Lucas Vignale and Lucas Brito Chaves and pilot Alexandre Souza. 

Sixty-year-old pilot Charles Marsillac was the only person on the other helicopter, an Airbus H125.

In addition to the police, the local Fire Department, CET (Traffic Engineering Company), Comlurb and teams from 31st BPM (Recreio dos Bandeirantes) worked to isolate the area after the crash.

Tree was in South America for his “The World’s First World Tour.” He had just done a show in São Paulo on June 6 and was scheduled to perform in Lisbon on July 13.

The late singer — who was born in Santa Cruz, California — rose to fame in 2010 at 17 years old and has worked with big names like Skrillex and Zeds Dead under the moniker “Tree.”

He put out his latest album, “Love You Madly Hate You Badly,” in April.

Tree’s ex, Melanie Martinez, shared a tribute to him after he was killed in the helicopter crash, admitting that she’s “been an absolute wreck.”

“It’s really hard to understand how someone who you once shared such a specific and formative time of your life with can all of a sudden be gone,” she wrote on Instagram.

Martinez also said Tree had a “contagious and warm” laugh and was always “dedicated” to his art, which she “admired and respected so deeply.”
