The crash occurred shortly after Leicester's game against West Ham, which ended in a 1-1 draw. The helicopter, which belongs to the owner Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha, reportedly lost control just seconds after takeoff, resulting in a devastating crash just outside the stadium. 

 

It is not yet known if the owner was actually on the helicopter, though sources have told BBC that this is the case. Understandably, the football world is in shock, and several Serie A clubs have sent their prayers to the city via social media. Take a look at our gallery for all of the messages.
