Several outlets reported Monday that a female pilot was killed in a fiery crash when her Airborne XT-912 ultralight plane crashed shortly after takeoff from Hawthorne Municipal Airport around noon. Us Weekly and TMZ identified the pilot as the 41-year-old “Bachelor” contestant on Tuesday.

Police and fire officials told the Los Angeles Times and the Daily Breeze that the motorized hang glider was fully engulfed in flames when officers arrived and that the woman aboard it was in “traumatic full arrest” when she was taken to Harbor-UCLA Medical Center. However, they did not identify the pilot.

“As soon as the plane hit the curb, it blew up and it just kept getting bigger and bigger, but the engine was still running and eventually the engine blew and the fire got even bigger,” Best Drilling and Pump Inc. employee Byron Mayes, who was working in a nearby area, told KTLA.
