DJ AM has surfaced in public for the first time since his horrific plane crash, joining mourners at a memorial service Monday for one of those who didn’t escape the fiery mishap, Chris “Lil Chris” Baker.

Baker, 29, was one of four people killed as their Learjet apparently blew a tire and burst into flames during takeoff Sept. 20 in Columbia, S.C.

He was the personal assistant to drummer Travis Barker. Barker and AM, whose real name is Adam Goldstein, survived the wreck with second- and third-degree burns and are expected to make full recoveries.

Visibly scarred and wearing oversized sunglasses, Goldstein arrived via limo at Forest Lawn Memorial Park in Hollywood.

Per the request of Baker’s family, the celebrity spinner and his fellow mourners dressed in green.

Goldstein hadn’t been spotted since leaving Doctors Hospital in Augusta, Ga., last Friday and flying back to Los Angeles. He reportedly attended the weekend funeral of another of the crash victims—Barker’s security guard Charles Still, 25—but never left of his tinted-out SUV.

Barker, meanwhile, checked out of Doctors Hospital earlier Monday and is en route to California on a bus.

Baker is survived by his wife, Otillia Villar, and their 2-year-old son, Sebastian.
