Legendary NBA player Kobe Bryant has died in a California helicopter crash, reports said Sunday.
He was 41.
Bryant was among at least four people traveling in his private helicopter over Calabasas when a fire broke out, sending the chopper spiraling from the sky, according to TMZ Sports.
There were no survivors, and the cause of the crash is under investigation, according to TMZ.
Bryant’s wife, Vanessa, was not among those aboard the chopper, according to the report.
Bryant starred for two decades with the Los Angeles Lakers, winning five championships and making 18 All-Star Games before retiring after the 2016 season.
The news just said it’s believed that his children were on that helicopter too. I am praying that is not true ????

It was kobe, his daughter, another parent from the team, their child, and the pilot
Mike LaFrance there were 9 total victims

Why not give the other passengers who died the same publicity he’s getting.. goes to show he’s famous and the others weren’t
Mj Long we just did an update post with their names.(as available)
Awful ..can’t trust those small passenger planes and helicopters.
Vera Auriemma ummm those fly every single day. It was low flying in fog. Not the helicopters fault
Patrick Brennan I’m sure they do fly everyday like you said but I personally don’t trust them
My condolences to all the people on board , ????????????
