Updated at 3:52 a.m. ET: Federal investigators were sifting through the wreckage Sunday of a helicopter crash at a well-known movie and TV production ranch that killed three people.
The 3:40 a.m. local time (6:40 a.m. ET) crash happened on the site of the Polsa Rosa Movie Ranch in Acton, Calif., on the northwestern edge of the Angeles National Forest about 30 miles north of Los Angeles.
The pilot and two passengers aboard the Bell 206 JetRanger died, officials said. Their identities were not immediately released.
A movie was reportedly being shot at the time, a Los Angeles County Fire Department dispater said. Signs for Bongo Productions were posted near the ranch, but officials could not confirm if that there was production under way during the crash.

Surly they will try to hang this on the "COP KILLER"
Wipeout, my favorite show, let the laughs begin, though they need to get Jill back!!!!!
It may be time to consider a ban on idiotic comparisons to sensible control.
Wipeout!!?? A good show? As the Captain would said..."Well, your wrong! those host guys are no Vic Romano or Kenny Blankenship!

The town is Acton, not Action.
Reality shows...They kill people.
Eh, that's A-C-T-O-N, not "Action". Minor detail, sloppy reporting.
gee, that's too bad. I always have helicopters following me around in real life, too. I hope they're taking this well. if not, there's always Tryopenin (tm) for immediate and sustained relief from anxiety.
three...two........... okay, we got 60 seconds, we can talk, hon.
They know it's "Acton." That's a typo. An error. You know, things "people" do when they're being rushed to get the news out. Too bad everyone isn't perfect. Three people died. It's not a joke.
Forgive me for saying this, but maybe it is time to take a break from the Reality shows. The town that they crashed in was called ACT on. Maybe it's time to make some room for the real actors, the real artists who are trained to influence and inspire their audience, in partnership with their screenplay writers and directors to create work of value, rather than indulge greedy producers who exploit nameless nobodies for profit and cheap, instant, meaningless "entertainment" aka mind drivel.
If they were scheduled to fly Saturday afternoon into Saturday night, why were they out till 3:40 am Sunday morning???
Now this is the making of a Reality TV show that I would watch.....i hoped they filmed it
i was thinking the same thing what the hell are they doing filming at that time of night, morning.
Reality shows are so very important that lives must be lost!
I guess reality finally sunk in. as a writer i dream of one day making it to hollywood but these people who do reality garbage show's dont know the meaning of true art that comes from the mind and soul of a person telling a story that he created from within. check out my book coming out soon. the hansen dam terror.
Is this what they mean by "when reality comes crashing down"?
if you want to film a real reality show give me a camera and a shot gun mic. ill take you to the hood.
Too bad it wasn't the Kardashians on board.
Oh well
I guarantee they will say that Christopher Dorner AKA Chocolate Rambo did this.
They will then use it so they can kill the first US citizen by UAV drone on US soil
Of course they have already killed US citizens abroad with them, but you, being informed individuals surely know that(yeah right).
You heard it here first folks, remember this.
I will also be taking bets on how fast they kick my door down for calling their hand.
@Jimmy Russel.
Think you might have watch too many of Faux noise comedy and liar shows. Yes, we know drones have been used to kill people overseas, but not yet has that happend here, and I doubt if it does. And really, if you want to know the truth, I hope they kick your door down sooner rather than later.
It seems like you have a low informed view of things going on. Probably have CDS and ODS, right? Just asking...
Paranoia is a symptom of mental illness and the NRA is in favor of keeping guns out of the hands of the mentally ill.
Not only do un-reality shows rot your mind, they kill
How's that for some REALITY, huh? Amazing the Media Moguls didn't use it to hype the series.
well, thats reality for ya
That must be the same location where they filmed the moon landing years ago?....
I don't know whats worse, the fact that three people died or that people are more concerned about spelling. SMH...
Time for the House to have committee meeting about this crash. Who knew what, when, etc etc etc.
So tired of turning on the tv and yet another reality show...how about showing reruns of fun shows like Odd Couple...Emergency...loving the Cozi TV...watching Six Million Dollar Man...show is hysterical to watch now and i would much rather watch that and Bionic Woman and Magnum PI than another "Bachelor" or reality show about a hairsylist, etc., who cares.
