Video posted on social media appeared to show the plane plunging through the sky moments before it hit the house.
As it starts, the plane is seen as a small dot in the sky. The camera zooms in and the aircraft is seen clearly plunging towards the house with its wings on fire.
The video was posted on Sydney Elaina on Facebook.
There were two passengers in the plane and one of them died in the crash. The other one was injured and rushed to a local hospital.
Tualatin Valley Fire & Rescue said they had concerns that the plane could catch fire so a line was started. They were also concerned about the fuel leakage, but the entire operation was completed without any incident.
