Kobe Bryant’s daughter Gianna ‘GiGi’ Maria was also on board the helicopter and died in the crash on Sunday.
According to TMZ, they were on their way to the Mamba Academy for a basketball practice when the crash occurred.
Investigators are trying to determine the cause of the crash.
An 18-time NBA All-Star, Bryant was widely considered to be one of the greatest basketball players of all-time. He was voted the NBA’s Most Valuable Player in 2008 and went on to win two gold medals with the USA Men’s Basketball team in 2008 and 2012.
In 2018, Bryant won an Academy Award for his short film, “Dear Basketball.”
