“Extra” host Mario Lopez tweeted, "Spent some time with Jenni Rivera recently. What an amazing lady ... Cool, smart, funny & talented. Such a travesty ... God Bless her family.”
Singing sensation Paulina Rubio grieved, "My friend! Why? There is no consolation. God, please help me!"
More details are emerging about the crash. Authorities told CNN the “aircraft was destroyed, totally fragmented” and they believed no one survived.
The 43-year-old’s brother, Gustavo Rivera, told CNN he planned to fly to Mexico early Monday to identify his sister's remains.
Born in Long Beach, California to Mexican immigrant parents, fans knew Rivera as "La Diva de la Banda," or The Diva of Banda Music, establishing herself initially as a huge hit in Mexico. Rivera sold 15 million records, according to Billboard.
Rivera was also reportedly on the verge of a crossover to the US market with an English-language show inspired by the success of "I Love Jenni," a Spanish-language reality TV show on Telemundo's mun2 network.

While I'm not really familiar with Jenni Rivera, I did hear her voice, her story is one of courage, strength, overcoming so many obstacles. She was an amazing woman, Mom, performer. She will be loved and missed, but I believe one of her children said it best "Now she's singing in heaven", I believe that's true, but now she has Angel's wings.
RIP Jenni Rivera! she was such a wonderful woman that helped the needed and brought happiness to all those that knew her.
