Christian Oliver, a Hollywood actor best known for his role in *Speed Racer*, and his two daughters tragically died in a plane crash in the Caribbean. The one-engine aircraft, en route from J.F. Mitchell Airport in Bequia to St. Lucia, experienced engine trouble shortly after takeoff and crashed into the sea just one nautical mile off Petit Nevis.

The Grenadines Police Force confirmed the crash, which occurred last Thursday around midday. Christian’s wife, Jessica Klepser, shared the heartbreaking news on Instagram, detailing the loss of their daughters, Madita (12) and Annik (10), and asking for privacy during this difficult time.
