'Terrible and tragic' It was not clear whether Farrell and DeGraw were also traveling with Barker and Goldstein. Federal officials confirmed that two crew members and two passengers were killed in the crash. "It's absolutely terrible and tragic," Columbia Mayor Bob Coble said.

The show documented the former couple's lavish wedding and life. Goldstein at one time was engaged to celebrity Nicole Richie.
