The Cessna 550 Citation, which federal records show belonged to music agent Dave Shapiro, plummeted into a residential area of San Diego at 3:47 am (1047 GMT) on Thursday, according to the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB).
In an audio recording posted to air traffic website liveatc.net, the pilot can be heard asking about weather conditions prior to descent, while indicating that visibility was down to a minimum.
As the plane came down, it clipped a power line and the impact of the crash set several nearby houses and vehicles alight, jolting families awake before dawn.
While Baker did not specify the number of fatalities, the US Federal Aviation Administration previously said the private plane had six people onboard.
Music veteran Shapiro was a co-founder of Sound Talent Group, which counts artists Hanson, Sum 41, Modern Baseball and Vanessa Carlton on its roster.
“We are devastated by the loss of our co-founder, colleagues and friends. Our hearts go out to their families and to everyone impacted,“ Sound Talent Group said in a statement.
“No words. We owe you everything. Love you forever,“ the band wrote in a tribute to Williams on Instagram.
At least 10 homes in San Diego’s Murphy Canyon neighborhood were hit by debris, while the street was littered with charred remnants, scattered fiberglass and jet fuel.
The NTSB said the pilot had not reported any problems to air traffic control or declared an emergency before trying to land.
The plane was not equipped with a flight data recorder.
The NTSB said its preliminary investigation would take several weeks to complete.
