Mark Ronson, Steve Aoki welcome home crash victim

Friends of DJ AM, who survived a deadly plane crash along with Blink 182's Travis Barker last month, are throwing him a party to welcome him home.

Mark Ronson, Cut Chemist and Steve Aoki are among those scheduled to perform at the event, which takes place Tuesday (October 14) at the Avalon in Hollywood.

Proceeds from the concert will go toward memorial funds for the crash victims, reports the Associated Press.

The plane's two pilots and two passengers were killed in the September 19 crash in South Carolina, as previously reported.

DJ AM, whose real name is Adam Goldstein, and Barker have both been released from the hospital and are expected to fully recover.
