The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department says the helicopter was part of some sort of film production shoot.
The crash was reported to authorities at 3:40 a.m. in the 5700 block of Soledad Canyon Road. The National Transportation Safety Board and the Federal Aviation Administration are both heading to the scene.
