We hate it when celebrities get hurt or sick or killed. We're not compassionate; we just feel uncomfortable leaving our cozy cocoon of sarcasm and hate. So it is with great squirminess and unease that we have to update you on Saturday's plane crash that killed four people and severely injured DJ AM and Travis Barker. According to US Weekly, the pair are doing well and expected to recover nicely:
Travis Barker and DJ AM suffered second and third degree burns from Fridayís jet crash that killed four people, Dr. Fred Mullins, Medical Director at Georgiaís Joseph Still Burn Center, announced at a press conference Sunday morning.
Barker has burns on his torso and lower body and Goldstein has burns on his arm and part of his head, Mullins said. (Mullins would not say the percentage of their bodies that were burned or whether they were conscious. He also did not go into detail about the type of treatment they are currently receiving.)
He said the two did not sustain any other injuries from the crash.
ìI think these patients are going to make a full recovery,î Mullins said. ìAnybody who can survive a plane crash is very lucky.î
During the conference, Mullins also read a statement from the families: ìThe families wish to thank fans from all over the world for their prayers and concern. Deepest sympathy is expressed to the loved ones of those who perished in the crash. As the two recuperate and mourn this loss, privacy for them, their families and friends is requested at this time.î
Life is truly unfair. Like it wasn't bad enough that Barker and AM once had to dip their dongs into Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie (respectively)! And now this.
