You'll want the McSpadden report (formerly the Nall report) here [1]

Pay attention to the accidents per 100,000 hours in commercial vs non-commercial fixed wing. Commercial is about 10-40x safer.

Note that here „commercial“ is commercial general aviation (so, not military and not scheduled airliners). Airliners are far safer still.

But commercial planes have a lot more passengers per plane

So in the end commercial planes have a higher death toll?
