(CNN) -- A 91-year-old woman was killed Sunday when a helicopter crashed into her condominium in Williamsburg, Virginia, according to Virginia State Police.

Jean Lonchak Danylko was killed when the aircraft hit her home around 4:30 p.m. Sunday, state police said in a statement Monday.

The fate of the pilot is not clear, police said, due to concerns about the structural safety of the building.
