Musicians DJ AM and Travis Barker should fully recover from severe burns they suffered during a fiery jet crash in South Carolina that killed four people, a doctor said Sunday.

DJ AM, whose real name is Adam Goldstein, and Barker, the former drummer for Blink-182, are being treated at the Joseph Still Burn Center in Augusta, Georgia, after suffering second- and third-degree burns, said Dr. Fred Mullins, the center's executive director. Travis received burns on his torso and lower body from the jet crash late Friday. DJ AM was burned on his arm and head, Mullins said. Though he expects a full recovery, Mullins said Barker and Goldstein could be hospitalized for weeks.

One witness said he saw Barker and Goldstein trying to extinguish flames on their bodies by ripping off their clothing. "We turned to the jet to try and see if there was anything we could do, but immediately, there was nothing anyone could do," William Owens told CNN affiliate WIS in Columbia, South Carolina. "I felt ill or sick to think that these lives were snuffed out at that point."

The Learjet 60 was taking off from the Columbia Metropolitan Airport at 11:53 p.m. Friday when it crashed, authorities said. Barker and Goldstein had played earlier at a free outdoor concert in Columbia's Five Points district, WIS-TV said.

Lexington County Coroner Harry O. Harman said those killed in the crash were from California. He identified them as pilot Sarah Lemmon, 31, of Anaheim Hills; co-pilot James Bland, 52, of Carlsbad; Chris Baker, 29, of Studio City; and Charles Still, 25, of Los Angeles. Baker was Barker's assistant, and Still was his security guard. A publicist told AP the men were Barker's close friends.

In addition to playing with Blink-182, Barker has appeared in the MTV reality show "Meet the Barkers" along with his wife at the time, former Miss USA Shanna Moakler, according to MTV's Web site. According to DJ AM's Web site, Barker and DJ AM recently collaborated on a mixtape titled, "Fix Your Face." Both Barker and DJ AM appeared recently on MTV's VMA awards together where they performed live DJ/drum covers with various artists.
