The aircraft collided with the terraced residence at noon local time in the western part of Germany.

The crash severely damaged the building in Kleinenbroich, near Dusseldorf, upon impact.

Photos show the roof’s building smoking as around 50 firefighters desperately battled with put out the fire which sparked when the small plane hit.

Piles of debris could also be seen strewn outside the home which is said to belong to three people.

One of the residents, an elderly woman, is among the victims.

She is believed to have died when the plane first smashed through the roof.

The experienced pilot reported technical problems from the cockpit just above Kleinenbroich shortly before the crash.

Her final destination is believed to have been Moenchengladbach, which sits just 2.5 miles away from Kleinenbroich.

Harrowing images of the plane’s wreckage sat in the back garden were released by officials.

The tail had been completely ripped away from the aircraft’s body with much of the remainder of the plane scattered across the ground.

It is unclear what caused the crash with investigations ongoing.

It comes just days after a frantic passenger on board an easyJet flight forced pilots to land in Germany.

The traveller is said to have grabbed at the emergency exit as she screamed about a “bomb”.

Terrified passengers watched in horror as the panicked woman attempted to open up the door.

She was quickly “wrestled away” from the emergency door before the flight diverted and landed in Frankfurt.
