Family crash horror for Helena Bonham Carter

MEMBERS of actress Helena Bonham Carter's family were killed in the safari holiday crash in South Africa last week.

Fiona Bonham Carter, 51, a cousin of the star, was injured but managed to scramble from the mini-bus wreckage.

Her son, Eton schoolboy Marcus Egerton-Warburton, 14, died along with her mother Brenda Bonham Carter, 74, stepfather Francis Kirkwood, 75, and sister-in-law Kay Boardman, 54. Also injured was another of Fiona's sons, Piers.

Fiona's estranged husband Charlie, a Credit Suisse banker, flew to South Africa from the family home on the Isle of Wight after hearing about the tragedy.

Helena could not be reached.
