DJ AM 'Looks Just Fine' Despite Plane-Crash Injuries, Friend Nicky Hilton Says
By MTV.com
DJ AM's friend Nicky Hilton told UsMagazine.com on Wednesday that she saw him two days ago and "he looks just fine," despite the second- and third-degree burns he suffered during the plane crash last month that killed four people and also injured Travis Barker.
"I think considering the circumstances, he is doing really well," she said. "I think he has so many friends and family that have kept him going through this. It is just a horrible, horrible situation. He has so many people that love him. There is a lot of love. Tons of love."
DJ AM, who was released from the hospital on Friday, was photographed earlier this week en route to a memorial service for Barker's assistant Chris Baker, who was killed in the crash. Barker was released from the hospital on Monday.
On Tuesday Hilton's sister, Paris, stopped by Ryan Seacrest's radio show and spoke about DJ AM, with whom she said she's been exchanging text messages. She said AM told her "how scary" the crash was and that he added "he's just so lucky to be alive."
"With all the love and support coming in, it really means a lot," Paris said. "He's such a good person. I feel like God really did save him."
She also recalled how she found out about the crash. "I was ... just landing in from Milan. I was sitting with my manager, and he showed me the phone. I couldn't believe it," she said. "It's so scary."
Paris said she's frequently flown in private jets like that one involved in the crash. But after the accident, she told Seacrest, "Now I will never go in one again. You never know what can happen!"
