Three Americans died in the Alps air crash that killed 150 people, the US state department has confirmed.
Two of the victims have been named as Yvonne Selke and her adult daughter Emily Selke.
A third person was not being identified until their family was notified, the state department said.
The Airbus A320 crashed on Tuesday after an eight-minute rapid descent. There were no survivors.
An early analysis of one flight recorder has not shed light into the cause of the crash.
The German, French and Spanish leaders have arrived together in the French Alps to visit the scene on Wednesday.#
After arriving near the crash site, President Hollande, Chancellor Merkel and Prime Minister Rajoy thanked the rescue workers for their efforts in difficult circumstances.
Earlier, the "black box" cockpit voice recorder was recovered by a helicopter team at the site near Digne.
