The aircraft went down on Kalalau Beach along the Nā Pali Coast on the island of Kauai, according to the Kauai Fire Department. The helicopter was carrying a pilot and four passengers at the time of the crash.
Officials said the extent of the injuries remains unclear, with emergency teams responding to the crash site.
