During a press conference Thursday afternoon, Patrick Butler of the Los Angeles Fire Department said the patient was "alert, conscious and breathing." He did not identify Ford as the pilot, but said the "patient was outside the plane when paramedics arrived on scene," and that "it's unclear if he was ejected." Butler said the patient was in "fair to moderate" condition.

No one else has been reported injured.

Ford's son Ben Ford tweeted that he was at the hospital with his father.

"Dad is ok. Battered, but ok! He is every bit the man you would think he is. He is an incredibly strong man," wrote Ben Ford, a Los Angeles-area chef. He added: "Thank you all for your thoughts and good vibes for my dad."
