The pilot of the helicopter was reportedly killed in the incident.

New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) spoke briefly to reporters, saying the helicopter performed an "emergency or hard" landing on the building, which sparked a fire.

"It was not a routine landing," he said.

"The only indication was a helicopter had to do an emergency or a hard landing, or crashed onto the rooftop of a building, causing a fire," Cuomo said. "But there's no indication of anything more than that."
