Lenny Kravitz Reps Quash ‘Untrue’ Rumors He Died in Florida Plane Crash

Reports that the singer was on board the crash that left nine people dead are "incorrect" The post Lenny Kravitz Reps Quash ‘Untrue’ Rumors He Died in Florida Plane Crash appeared first on TheWrap .

Lenny Kravitz's representatives have dispelled false reports that the singer perished in a Florida plane crash on November 1. The aircraft, a Learjet 60, was en route from Austin, Texas, to the Bahamas when it crashed in Cresthaven, Florida. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy announced the tragic incident, noting that all nine individuals on board, including co-pilot Nathalia Filgueiras, lost their lives.

Moments after the crash, false rumors began circulating online, claiming Kravitz was among the deceased. These rumors stemmed from a deleted social media post by a female pilot who falsely claimed she was flying Kravitz from Austin to the Bahamas. Kravitz's rep, Carleen Donovan, firmly stated that the reports were "untrue and incorrect."

Transport officials assured that no ground personnel were injured or killed in the crash. Florida Governor Ron DeSantis described the event as "cataclysmic," likening the plane's descent to that of a missile and highlighting the large crater left on the road. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) pledged to dispatch a team to the crash site to aid the National Transportation Safety Board's investigation.

Bombardier, the aircraft manufacturer, expressed deep sorrow over the incident, stating they would collaborate fully with investigators. The manufacturer emphasized they could not comment on the cause of the accident until the inquiry was finished.
