A light plane has crashed into two homes in the Melbourne suburb of Chelsea.


Victorian Police have confirmed one person has died in the crash but no other injuries have been reported.


The plane hit a house shortly before 1.30pm and caught fire on impact, police said.


Chelsea is about 30 kilometres south-east from Melbourne's CBD.


One man said he saw a burst of flames when the plane crashed.


"There was a mass of flames coming out, a mass of smoke - black - coming from it," he told Fairfax Radio.


The pilot may have been trying to make an emergency landing, another witness said.


"I believe he was trying to land it in an emergency situation," the man identified as Mark told Fairfax Radio.
