Judging from the published photos it should be a Cougar. Part of the tail section revealed T-33* which should belong to a Cougar.
A Super Puma or a Cougar.....the result is nevertheless terrible.

Another part visible in the media coverage last night revealed "8" as the last number of the serial. The crashed helicopter would thus be Cougar T-338.

With both, Super Puma and Cougar active in the fleet, but looking pretty much the same to the general public, it is quite common for them to be mentioned as just Super Pumas around here ...
