From 2006 to 2016, looking at US data only, the NTSB records 67 fatals in Bells of all types, 66 fatals in Robinsons of all types.
A simple quote of a factoid is of zero value in any analysis or discussion.

Let me ask a few questions then you get back with us.

How many Robinson crashes occurred while doing EMS flights at night?

How many Robinson crashes occurred at Night doing Air Taxi flights?

How many Robinson crashes were pilot error in daylight operations within sight of the home airport (like training, etc.).

How many Robinson crashes occurred while carrying underslung loads to include Fire Fighting?

If you are going to throw out a simple number....that will not buttress your argument much at all.
