Very sad news to all involved. Looks like the aircraft was EC-GU1 an Aeroprakt A22 Foxbat and the helicopter a LongRanger of Rotorflug possibly D-HOTT which I know has been based in Majorca in the past.
I remember that accident well, I was in a Cessna 340 about to land just after it happened. They had put up a fence around the accident so the crowd could not see the remains, sadly we were on the runway it was not a pleasant sight. G-AVSN a Ferranti JetRanger if memory recalls.
