Argentine YouTuber Gaspi and American singer Oliver Tree were among the six victims of a helicopter crash in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, on Sunday morning.

Gaspi, 23, was a famous YouTuber turned comedian with a massive following in Latin America, known for his parody skits that earned him nearly 3 million followers on Instagram alone.

The crash involved two helicopters, one of which had five people on board, including Gaspi and Oliver Tree, while the other had just the pilot.

The helicopter carrying Gaspi and Oliver Tree was found in flames at an electric vehicle parking lot after the crash, with parts of the aircraft scattered hundreds of meters away.

The Brazilian Air Force and the National Civil Aviation Agency are investigating the crash, which is still being treated as a preliminary incident.
