• The Mexican Foreign Ministry thanked Pennsylvania officials for their support following the crash and confirmed they are in contact with the families of the victims

You can read more about the crash and its aftermath in our story.

The crash site is extensive - officials say it not only spans four to six blocks, but there is also debris in remote areas.

For this reason, investigators can be seen scouring the gardens of residential homes, as well as on and around parked cars in the area.

The mayor earlier called on residents to check their cars for any evidence of the crash, and if they find something, call 911 and do not touch it.

During the news conference earlier, the mayor said that donations were not needed in this tragedy. That message has been echoed by the Red Cross Philadelphia.

"We understand people want to help and appreciate the support," the charity organisation wrote on X.

"Red Cross has what it needs to support the community. We ask that you not bring material donations such as clothing or food to the shelter. We're working to identify partners to handle donations."

Philadelphia residents have been reacting to Friday night's crash, with one man saying the area of the site is "unrecognizable".

"I come here almost every day, I'm a field rep salesman. And fortunately yesterday I didn't go into the field. But coming back today, this place is unrecognizable," Zach Coates tells Reuters.

"Everything that was here, the community, everything I can tell, everybody is impacted by it," he adds.

One woman, Tanisha, becomes emotional as she explains that she is trying to get in touch with her cousin, who lives on a block which is currently cordoned off.

"Oh, man. I haven't heard from her yet. So I'm trying to make sure she is okay. My heart is racing. There is a lot going on, a lot of emotions," she says.

We have a few more details about the people who were injured on the ground.

Jefferson Health told NBC News that they provided care for 15 people on Friday night, 12 of whom have since been discharged.

Two people have been admitted for further care, and one patient has been transferred to another hospital.

• As a reminder, Philadelphia's Mayor said earlier that 19 people were injured on the ground, but this number could change

The private Learjet 55, a medical transportation jet, took off from Northeast Philadelphia Airport in the state of Pennsylvania yesterday afternoon.

The plane was headed to Springfield-Branson National Airport in Missouri, where it was stopping off before continuing to Mexico.

Flight logs show it was only in the air for a minute before it crashed at approximately 18:10 local time (23:10 GMT).

It's just gone 13:00 in Philadelphia, where investigators and emergency services remain at the cordoned-off site of Friday night's crash.

Governor Shapiro said earlier that the city has been "working around the clock" to keep people safe.

Mexico's US Ambassador, Esteban Moctezuma Barragán, has just reacted to yesterday's medical plane crash in Philadelphia.

Monctezuma Barragán says "it is with deep sadness we once again mourn a terrible plane crash".

In a post on X, he adds the embassy sends "a message of solidarity and affection" to the family and friends of those killed in the crash.

• As a reminder, all the people on board the medical plane were confirmed to be Mexican nationals

Friday night's jet crash was caught from different angles by doorbell cameras across the city.

It appears as a huge flash in the sky - watch below.

The news conference has just wrapped up.

Mayor Cherelle Parker, Governor Josh Shapiro, the city's managing director Adam Thiel and fire commissioner Jeffrey Thompson spoke.

Here's what they said:

• They confirmed that six people on board the plane died in the crash last night
• One person on the ground, who was in their car at the time, also died
• There were 19 people injured on the ground, but this number could change
• Parker said something "went terribly wrong," and they will get to the bottom of the cause
• There is help available for everyone affected, and Parker says people should call 911 if they need assistance other than shelter
• Shapiro said the city has been "working around the clock" to keep people safe
• Thiel said that the number of casualties could rise
• He added that if people find debris, "don't touch it, and call 911 immediately"

Officials are still answering questions from journalists.

City Manager Adam Thiel says the area of impact is around "four to six blocks" and there is also debris in remote areas.

He reiterates that the incident covers a "widespread area" and says residents who live between the location of the crash and Northeast Philadelphia Airport may find evidence related to the crash.

If they do, he urges them not to touch it and call 911.

He also says locals should contact authorities if anyone they know is missing.

Mayor Parker returns to the podium and says there might be people who were in the area last night that could have evidence attached to their vehicles.

"If that happens to be you, don't touch it, and call 911 immediately," she advises.

The media are asking questions now.

The first question is about structural damage to the neighbourhood and if there could be more deaths.

Fire commissioner Jeffrey Thompson says there were five fires as a result of the crash - all have now been extinguished.

Philadelphia Managing Director Adam Thiel steps in, and says "this is a very large area with a lot of damage and we are still working in a number of different ways to assess that damage."

They are going "literally house-by-house, door-to-door," he adds.

On victims, Thiel says there could be changes to the casualty number. There are several patients in hospitals and they are still unclear about "who was where" last night.

It "could be days or more" until they can say how many people died in this crash.

Shapiro says residents saw "carnage" in their community and saw "things that no one should ever have to experience in their neighbourhoods".

He praises the work of residents helping each other, adding that's the "Philly way, that's the Philly spirit".

Josh Shapiro reiterates how the city has been working "around the clock" to keep people safe.

Fifteen members of state police have been deployed to the scene, he says, and the Pennsylvania Emergency Management Agency (PEMA) has been on the ground since Friday night's crash.

The mayor says authorities were hesitant to say how many people had died last night, because they "knew those numbers would be moving."

"We will not act in haste as we are reporting on this issue," she says, adding that they won't share information that hasn't been verified extensively.

She passes over to the Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro.

The public should not come to the crash site right now, Mayor Parker says, reiterating that it is still an active scene.

She adds that no donations are needed - a message also shared by the local Red Cross - and there has been no donation page set up dedicated to this tragedy.

Parker expresses her appreciation for the desire to help and says she will keep the public updated on the formal ways people can do so.

• As a reminder: The mayor has confirmed all six people on board the flight that crashed in Philadelphia have died as well as one other person who was in their car at the time.

Mayor Parker encourages anyone who has been displaced to take advantage of a shelter being operated by the Red Cross.

She asks people to call 911 if they need any assistance other than shelter. Mental and behavioural help services are also available, she adds.

Parker says "our local, state and federal partners, they are all working together as we work to address this tragedy."

She thanks all of those involved in the efforts following the crash, including the agencies and officials.

"We are grateful for your support."

The effort has been helped "with the support of the White House, with the support of our senators... every state legislator who is present here."

"What you witness here today is everyone standing up together."

Mayor Cherelle Parker says nearby households have been impacted by the loss of power and utility services are working to restore it. She urges locals to check online for further updates.

The mayor says they are encouraging people in the area to stay at home if they can can as the crash site remains an "active investigation".

She adds that there are police officers and fire authorities on every block and residents should have no problems if they plan to leave.
