Kobe Bryant

Kobe Bryant was killed in a helicopter crash in Calabasas, California Sunday morning.

The basketball star was traveling with at least three other people in his private helicopter when it crashed and a fire broke out. Five people are confirmed dead.

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.”

He is survived by his wife, Vanessa, and four daughters – Gianna, Natalia and Bianca and Capri.
