Lenny Kravitz is alive, according to his team, despite widespread social media reports claiming he died in a plane crash in Palm Beach on Sunday, Nov. 1.
A Learjet 60 crashed into a tree on Military Trail near the Cresthaven neighborhood around 1 p.m. The aircraft was en route from Austin, Texas, to North Eleuthera in the Bahamas. The West Palm Beach Fire Department reported that nine people were aboard the jet. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy confirmed all nine were killed.
The confusion began when online users linked the crash to a specific pilot. TMZ reported that the pilot had previously shared a photo showing she had flown with Kravitz on a similar route. This detail led many to incorrectly identify her as the pilot of the crashed aircraft and assume the singer was a passenger.
Kravitz' representatives told TMZ that the reports of his death were false and incorrect. The pilot identified in the rumors addressed the issue directly on TikTok. She stated she was not the pilot of the accident and asked the public to stop spreading erroneous information about the tragedy.
In her statement, the pilot expressed condolences to the families of those who perished. She emphasized the need for respect toward everyone involved in the incident as details continue to emerge.
