Shanna Moakler is with Travis Barker at the hospital

Shanna Moakler has rushed to be with ex-husband Travis Barker after he was in a serious plane crash. Moakler’s mother spoke to People and said that Travis was doing okay – everything considered – but that he was incredibly upset over the deaths of four other passengers, one of whom was his assistant Chris Baker.

Both Barker and DJ A.M. made it out of the plane alive, but they were very badly burned and are still listed as in critical condition. Moakler flew out to Georgia early this morning according to her mother Gail.

Travis Barker’s former mother-in-law, Gail Moakler, tells PEOPLE, “We’re totally crushed,” but that Shanna Moakler has rushed to be with her ex… Moakler, whose daughter Shanna was married to Barker, tells PEOPLE, “Our heart pours out. We’re hoping he recovers. The family is rallying around him and saying our prayers.”

Both Barker, 32, and DJ AM (real name: Adam Michael Goldstein), 35, were taken to a burn center in Augusta, Georgia, about 75 miles southwest of the Columbia, S.C., crash site. Both are listed in critical condition. Four others on the plane were killed: pilot Sarah Lemmon, 31, of Anaheim Hills, Calif.; co-pilot James Bland, 52, of Carlsbad, Calif.; security guard Charles Still, 25, of Los Angeles; and Barker’s assistant Chris Baker, 26, also of Los Angeles.

Upon hearing the news of the crash, “Shanna flew out this morning, and I am going to L.A. to be with the children so that she can devote time to Travis,” Gail Moakler tells PEOPLE. “There’s still love between them,” says Gail Moakler. “They may be divorced, but they’re still very close. She spends a lot of time with him. Their priorities are their kids.”

The youngsters have yet to be told about the incident. “We’re waiting a bit to see what God brings,” says their grandmother, who adds, “Shanna spoke to Travis last night. He was defiant after the accident and didn’t want to be lifted in a helicopter, but rather an ambulance, so they had to knock him out.”

[From People]

Shanna and Travis were married in 2004 and divorced earlier this year. They had a pretty dramatic relationship which was documented on their MTV show Meet the Barkers. They were constantly breaking up and getting back together, and it was hard to guess at any given moment if their divorce proceedings were still going on or if they’d reconciled. Travis and Shanna have two young children: daughter Alabama is 2 and their son Landon is 4.

It sounds like things are still very much up in the air regarding Barker’s condition, but as I mentioned it’s still listed as critical. He and DJ A.M. are beyond lucky to have escaped the plane; but it sounds like the situation is still tenuous at best. Hopefully things will stabilize soon and they’ll both be okay.

    I guess Travis’ defiant personality enabled him to survive. Thank God he is alive, especially since he has children. Shanna must still love him to rush to his side-so sweet.

    The instant I heard about the plane crash with Travis, I knew deep in my heart that Shanna would be by his side. I met these two wonderful people watching Meet the Barkers & feel I know them like my neighbors. My prayers are with everyone involved.

    Do we find it odd that the only two people to survive are ‘celebrities’? How random that they would be the only two….
