Barker, 32, was taken to a burn center in Augusta, Georgia, about 75 miles southwest of Columbia, and was listed in critical condition Saturday morning as was DJ AM (real name: Adam Michael Goldstein), 35, say officials at the facility.

“Both Travis Barker and Adam Goldstein are in critical but stable condition,” Beth Frits, spokesperson for the Joseph M. Still Burn Center, tells PEOPLE. “Goldstein was airlifted here and Barker was brought by ground transportation. So they arrived separately.”

I pray for both and thier family and friends. May they pull out of this as best as possible.

    I saw it on the news earlier. At first I thought they had died! I hope they will make full recoveries. I’m saying a prayer for them.

    I can’t believe that DJ AM and Travis Barker survived a jet crash! They were obviously meant to stick around for a reason!
