A seven-year-old girl walked free from the wreckage of a private plane that crashed in a wooden area of Kentucky on Friday killing four others on board, US Police said.

Police was alerted to the crash when they received an emergency call from a local resident , they said in a statement on Facebook. "The caller told police that a seven-year-old female had walked to his home reporting that she had been involved in a plane crash" sergeant Dean Patterson of Kentucky police said in the official statement.

The girl was in emotional distress and taken to a hospital with non-life threatening injuries, Patterson said. Emergency crews raced to the area and later located the small plane. They discovered four bodies, including the pilot and the three passengers.

The identities of the deceased and the survivor were not released. Patterson said he didn't know the girl's relationship with the people on the plane.
