Chris Hemsworth and his wife Elsa Pataky looked solemn as they arrived at Sydney Airport on Monday following the death of their regular pilot Gary Liehm.
The Hollywood couple, who were joined by Pataky’s brother Cristian Prieto, had only just learned Mr Liehm had died in a horror plane crash hours earlier.
Hemsworth, 39, known for playing Thor in the Marvel superhero movies, sported a glum expression and his wife, 46, appeared equally distraught as she walked down the runway with her arms folded across her chest.
Hemsworth was seen wiping tears from his eyes as he spoke to a man believed to be his long-time personal trainer Luke Zocchi.
The Cessna aircraft Mr Liehm was piloting crashed in remote bushland near Lowood, an hour west of Brisbane, on Monday, killing all three on board.
The crash scene is so remote emergency responders experienced great difficulty accessing the wreckage on foot.

Tom Strachan, 49, and his 20-year-old son Noah have been identified as victims, along with Mr Liehm.
Mr Strachan was a farmer and businessman who founded the mining, construction and agricultural labour-hire firm AWX in 2000, which was sold for a reported $25million in 2016.
His son Noah was an analyst at Brisbane real estate and investment company Benstead Holdaway.
Noah studied property economics and business at the Queensland University of Technology and previously attended Brisbane Grammar School, the same school as his father.
Mr Liehm was chief executive of Executive Helicopters who had flown for SeaWorld and Queensland emergency authorities.
He also privately chauffeured celebrity clients, including the Hemsworths.
