Four other people died in the crash.

Just in: Former Blink 182 drummer Travis Barker and Adam Goldstein (DJ AM) have been critically injured injured in a Learjet crash that killed four others aboard in South Carolina.

Barker and Goldstein are being treated at Joseph M. Still Burn Center in Augusta, Georgia, where a hospital spokesperson tells ET: "There has been no change since this morning. Both are in critical condition, both are in stable condition." The hospital says a press conference will be held Sunday morning.

An FAA spokeswoman tells ET that the Learjet was departing South Carolina's Columbia Metropolitan Airport for Van Nuys, Calif., minutes before midnight on Friday.

"Controllers observed sparks from the aircraft on takeoff roll, but they couldn't tell where the sparks were coming from," she says. "The plane went off the end of the runway and crashed onto State Road 302. There was communication between the flight and air traffic controllers."

Local TV station WIS 10 in Columbia, South Carolina, says that the Lexington County coroner has identified the four individuals killed in the crash: pilot Sarah Lemmon, 31, co-pilot James Bland, 52, and passengers Chris Baker, 29, and Charles Still, 25.

On Friday night, hours before the crash, Barker and DJ-AM performed together as TRVSDJ-AM at a free concert near the University of South Carolina, says the Associated Press.

Barker has drummed for Blink 182, and he starred on an MTV reality series, "Meet the Barkers," with his ex-wife Shanna Moakler. Goldstein was once engaged to Nicole Richie and reportedly dated Mandy Moore.
