The helicopter crashed in Medford, New Jersey at around noon on Friday, and another individual was killed as well.
Footage captured after the crash shows the helicopter on its side in a tree-filled area as responders examine the wreckage. A fire truck and other emergency vehicles can be seen at the site, which appears to be in a rural area.
Gentry’s bandmate, Eddie Montgomery, was not on the helicopter, WLEX reports. The cause of the crash is currently unknown.
