Eleven people have been found dead and two are missing after a helicopter crashed west of the Norwegian city of Bergen with 13 on board, rescuers say.

The helicopter was "totally destroyed", reports said. It was flying from the Gullfaks oil field to Bergen, a centre for the North Sea oil and gas industry.
