LOS ANGELES, California – The wife of actor Christian Oliver is mourning the tragic loss of her husband and their two young daughters, who were killed in a plane crash in the Caribbean.
In a statement released on Wundabar Pilates’ Instagram account by company owner Amy Jordan, Jessica Klepser and her family expressed deep sadness over the devastating accident. The family was returning from a holiday in the Caribbean when the small plane they were traveling in experienced engine trouble and plummeted into the ocean, claiming the lives of all four passengers.
The statement described 12-year-old Madita as a vibrant 7th-grade student known for her lively spirit and academic excellence, while 10-year-old Annik was remembered as a gentle yet strong 4th-grade student who was always quick to offer a kind word or a comforting hug. The family also highlighted the deep bond, infectious laughter, and adventurous spirit shared by the two siblings, who are survived by their mother, grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins in Germany.

His family requested privacy and shared a GoFundMe link, created for them by a person named Sarah Silverman, to help cover the cost of returning Christian and the girls home, funeral and memorial services, legal expenses, and to support Jessica and the extended family during this difficult time. The fundraiser has already surpassed its $100,000 goal.
Oliver had a long list of acting credits, including appearances in the sitcom “Saved by the Bell: The New Class” and the German police procedural drama “Alarm für Cobra 11”. He most recently appeared in “Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny” and had just finished filming the movie “Forever Hold Your Peace,” in which he was a producer, in December.
