A friend of Travis Barker and DJ AM has revealed to E! News some grim, new details about last night's plane crash that the two survived but claimed the lives of four others.

The source says that AM is "really, really badly burned" and confirms that "his face is very burned." The source adds, "More than 50 percent of his body is burned and the worst is on his face."

The source tells E! that AM was looking forward to coming home last night and, in fact, e-mailed a picture to a friend that showed him standing next to the Lear Jet last night right before the ill-fated takeoff. "He sent a picture being like, 'Hey, I'm coming home on this ride.'"

The source also says that Travis was burned "mostly from the waist down." Both men are in critical but stable condition at the Joseph Still Burn Center in Augusta, Ga.

Another source reports that Travis' ex-wife, Shanna Moakler, who was just spotted with him Wednesday night at the Janet Jackson concert in Los Angeles, has left their Calabasas home and is headed to Georgia to be with him.

As for Travis' friend and business partner "Lil' Chris" Baker, who died in the crash, E! has learned that Baker was married and had a baby. "He was the sweetest, nicest guy. He was like Travis' right-hand man."

Baker often appeared on Travis and Shanna's MTV reality series Meet the Barkers, which aired in 2005 and 2006.
