Shanna Moakler on Crash: “Our Lives Will Be Changed Forever”

Shanna Moakler has released the following statement regarding Travis Barker’s weekend jet crash:

“There are not enough words to express how thankful we are for the outpouring of love and support we have received during this very difficult time. We can only ask for prayers as we heal and mourn the loss of our dear friends who we considered part of our family. Our lives will be changed forever.”

Moakler, who is now back together with Barker after a 2004 divorce (they have two kids together), is with the rocker as he recovers from second and third degree burns at the Joseph Still Burn Center in Augusta, Georgia. He is expected to make a full recovery.

He has been receiving an outpouring of support from his celebrity friends.

DJ Steve Aoki and Jermaine Dupri paid him a visit over the weekend.

“It’s a seriously sad situation,” Dupri told Usmagazine.com. “He’s doing good… but I really hate to see my friends go through this.”

On Monday, a coroner determined that smoke and fire killed the pilot and co-pilot while impact-related injuries killed two other passengers.

While a cause for the crash has yet to officially be determined, a blown tire during takeoff may be to blame.

In a statement, Goodyear, the tire’s manufacturer, said: “We have been contacted by the [National Transportation Safety Board] and will cooperate fully with its investigation. Our thoughts and prayers are with the families of the victims of this accident.”
