The German-born US actor Christian Oliver and his two daughters died in a plane crash near a tiny private island in the eastern Caribbean, according to police in St. Vincent and the Grenadines. The crash occurred on Thursday just west of Petit Nevis island near Bequia as the plane headed for nearby St. Lucia, police said in a statement.

According to the available information, Christian Oliver was traveling with his 10-year-old Madita Klepser and 12-years-old Annik Klepser at the time. In addition to them, the plane's pilot Robert Sachs and three others have also lost their lives. However, what cause the plane crash is yet to be figured out, said the police reportedly.

Reportedly, the actor was enjoying his vacation with family where he also welcomed the New Year 2024. A couple of days ago, he posted a picture of a beach and wrote, "Greetings from somewhere in paradise! To community and love.. 2024 (here) we come! (Sic)"
