THE fiancée of Daniel Williams, the former drummer of metal band The Devil Wears Prada who was killed in the San Diego plane crash has shared a heartbreaking tribute.

Hannah Ray took to Instagram on Friday following the news that six people including Williams and talent agent Dave Shapiro had been killed when a private Cessna plane crashed at around 4 am PST on Thursday.

“My entire world is in shambles. The hole you’ve left in all of our lives and hearts can not be measured,” she wrote.

“One thing is beyond clear – How loved you are and how much you loved others, showed up and gave so much to everyone in your life.

“I can’t wrap my head around never getting to see you or touch you again.

“My heart has never felt this level of pain and I truly don’t know how to carry on without you.

“You are my best friend, partner, fiance, my biggest fan in every way, the most supportive and positive soul I’ve ever had the pleasure of knowing and truly showed me the kind of love people might only ever experience once in a lifetime if at all.”

She revealed that Williams, 39, tragically died on their 14th anniversary.

The heartbroken fiancée added that the pair met on May 22, 2011 and that exactly 14 years later “on May 22nd 2025, you left us way too soon”.

“I love you and miss you with every fiber of my being and will do my best to be the best I can for you every day still,” she added.

“I love you I love you I love you I love you.”

Just hours before the crash, Williams had excitedly shared images from the cockpit of the plane on social media.

An Instagram post showed him at the plane’s controls, and he had written a caption, “Here we gooooo.”

In another post he added: “Hey. Hey … you … look at me … I’m the (co)pilot now.”

The Cessna 550 left Tereboro Airport in New Jersey late on Wednesday night with six passengers on board.

It stopped for fuel in Wichita, Kansas, before continuing to San Diego, California where the plane plummeted two miles from it’s intended destination of the Montgomery-Gibbs Executive airport.

The plane smashed through power lines and leaking fuel and debris caused 15 homes and several vehicles to catch fire with residents of the US-Navy community forced to flee their homes in the early hours of the morning.

All those on board the plane died and eight residents were injured when the plane plunged from the sky and crashed in heavy fog.
