The helicopter belongs to NBC Los Angeles (KNBC-TV).
NBC Los Angeles later reported that NewsChopper4 was owned and operated by Angel City Air, not by KNBC-TV itself.
Full reasoning
NBC Los Angeles' own follow-up reporting contradicts the ownership claim. In its September 16, 2026 article about the crash victims, NBC Los Angeles wrote that Moreno and Marciniw provided coverage from "NewsChopper, owned and operated by Angel City Air" and later stated again that "The NewsChopper4 helicopter is owned and operated by Angel City Air." That means the helicopter was being used for NBC Los Angeles coverage, but it did not belong to KNBC-TV in the ownership sense stated in the post.
