A British composer, a musician, and their baby daughter have died in a plane crash in the Swiss Alps.
Jonathon Goldstein, saxophonist Hannah Marcinowicz, and seven-month-old Saskia were traveling in a light aircraft from western Switzerland to Italy on Sunday.
The plane came down in the Alps near the border.
The couple's families confirmed the crash with a statement, saying that they were "devastated" by the incident.
"We are all devastated by the news of Jonathan, Hannah and Saskia's deaths," they said. "We loved them all so very much. They were so happy together, and we will miss them terribly."
"We would ask the media to respect the family's privacy at this extremely difficult time."
Goldstein set up and ran his own composing company in the UK writing music for advertisements as well as the big screen and stage.
He was nominated for several prestigious awards over the course of his career including the Ivor Novella award and the British Arrows.
He won the latter twice in 2002 and 2009.
Marcinowicz studied at the Royal Academy of Music and later performed with the London Symphony Orchestra, the Philharmonia Orchestra, and the BBC Concert Orchestra.
She and Goldstein welcomed their daughter earlier this year.
An investigation has been launched into the cause of the plane crash.
