The body of the last victim in a deadly helicopter crash in the sea close to East China's Xiamen has been found and brought to shore on Saturday afternoon. All four people on board were confirmed to have died in the accident.

The crashed helicopter was also brought to shore, reports said. It crashed into the sea during an air tour mission, according to an announcement by China's civil aviation regulator on Friday. The reason for the crash is still unknown.

The helicopter belongs to Beijing-based Fan Ya General Aviation, the regulator said.

Apart from flight training, the company runs a helicopter tourism service at the coast of Xiamen, together with a local helicopter tourism service center, its website shows.

The helicopter crashed into the sea close to Xiamen in East China's Fujian Province on Friday afternoon, the Global Times learned from the Donghai (East China Sea) Rescue Bureau of the Ministry of Transport.

The Xiamen rescue team later found the bodies of three of the victims of the crash, with one missing as of Friday.

Surveillance video circulating online, which is believed to come from a commercial street close to the water, shows that the helicopter plunged head down into the sea.
