A helicopter crashed next to Huntington Beach, California, leaving five people injured on Saturday afternoon.

The chopper spiralled out of control as it plunged into a parking lot off Pacific Coast Highway, between Beach Boulevard and Twin Dolphins Drive.

Five people, including a child, were taken to the hospital.

Huntington Beach firefighters pulled two people from the wreckage. Three pedestrians on the street were also injured in the incident.

Local media reported that several other small helicopters, seen in the video, were parked near where the crash happened, in front of the Hyatt Regency and Waterfront Beach Resort.

An 'exclusive helicopter landing party was reportedly being hosted by MD Helicopters at the Offshore 9 Rooftop Lounge.

The event organisers said: 'We are sending our prayers out to all involved in the unfortunate incident today.

'Our plan for now is to move forward with our event tomorrow, Sunday, October 12th. We will advise everyone at the earliest possible opportunity if that plan changes.'
