Travis Barker released from hospital

Travis Barker has been released from a Georgia burns centre after a Learjet crash, and has returned to Los Angeles in good condition.

Travis Barker has been released from the Joseph M. Still Burn Centre at Doctors Hospital in Augusta, Georgia, following treatment for burns sustained when the Learjet he was travelling on crashed during take-off at a South Carolina airport on 20 Sep. As previously reported, his fellow crash survivor, DJ AM - aka Adam Goldstein - was released from the same facility on Friday.

Barker's release comes a couple of weeks earlier than expected, but according to the hospital's Beth Frits, he "left the hospital in good condition". The former Blink 182 star has headed home to Los Angeles.

Meanwhile, DJ AM has apparently changed his Facebook status to: "Adam Goldstein is the luckiest guy alive". As you'll remember, the two other passengers on board the jet, Chris Baker and Charles Still, died on impact, whilst the pilot Sarah Lemmon and co-pilot James Bland died from smoke inhalation and burns.
