Default RIP Kobe Bryant
Wasn't a huge fan, but I respected him... RIP.

Just died in a helicopter crash:

I thought it was a hoax at first but then I saw it reported on multiple news sites. RIP absolute legend.

Really enjoyed watching Kobe once upon a time. One of the greats for sure.

Really? I heard a little while ago that no family was with him. Everything I've read so far seem to indicate his family was not with him.

Looks like they are saying the other passengers have yet to be identified.

They've confirmed his older daughter was with him - they were on the way to a basketball camp or practice or something. I'm just hoping the others weren't her young friends/teammates... Can't imagine what his wife and other kids are going through right now...

It's pretty well confirmed it was his 13 year old daughter and another parent and daughter/son... along with the pilot.

Gianna Bryant, Kobe’s 13-year-old daughter, was one of the four passengers killed in the crash, ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski reported.
