Jenni Rivera, the Mexican-American singer, is believed to be dead after the wreckage of the private jet that she was travelling in was found in northern Mexico which was carrying her and six other passengers, according to reports.
Mexico's Transportation and Communications Minister Gerardo Ruiz Esparza said that "everything points toward" it being the U.S.-registered Learjet 25 carrying Rivera and six other people from Monterrey en route to Toluca, Mexico, according to the Associated Press.
The plane had gone missing after takeoff early Sunday.
"There is nothing recognizable, neither material nor human" in the wreckage," Ruiz Esparza told the Televisa network.
Jenni Rivera, 43, is well known for her interpretations of regional Mexican music, norteno and banda. She also is one of NBCUniversal's brightest bilingual television stars.
Rivera also had a reality show on the Telemundo cable channel, mun2, "I Love Jenni," has been one of the channel's highest rated shows. The program is in its second year.
Rivera had just given a concert before thousands of fans in Monterrey on Saturday night. Following the concert, she shared with her fans about how her recent divorce from former Major League Baseball pitcher, Esteban Loaiza, had been a very hard time for her.
"I can't get caught up in the negative because that destroys you. Perhaps trying to move away from my problems and focus on the positive is the best I can do. I am a woman like any other and ugly things happen to me like any other woman," she said Saturday night.
"The number of times I have fallen down is the number of times I have gotten up."
