NBC Los Angeles confirmed that the aircraft was its NewsChopper4.
Four people were assessed at the scene, with three pronounced dead and a fourth transported to a local hospital in unknown condition, according to the department.
The Los Angeles Fire Department said 56 firefighters responded just before 7 p.m. to the crash between two commercial buildings at 9151 N. Mason Ave. in Chatsworth.
One of the victims was a pedestrian in the parking lot, according to LAFD Capt. Branden Silverman. Authorities did not immediately say whether the other victims were aboard the helicopter or on the ground.
The crash sparked a fire that damaged four vehicles and two storage containers before firefighters extinguished the flames, according to LAFD. No nearby structures were exposed to the fire.
Authorities did not immediately say how many people were aboard the helicopter.
Local outlets reported that several TV news helicopters were in the area covering a deadly crash involving a Metro bus.
Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass mourned the victims of the crash.
"I’m absolutely devastated by the loss of life in Chatsworth tonight," Bass said in a statement. "My heart is with the families and loved ones of those we lost in the tragic bus collision and helicopter crash."
