Legend and NBA icon, Kobe Bryant, and his daughter, Gianna Bryant, as well as 7 other people died in a helicopter crash on January 26, 2020 at 10am. A brush fire created by the crash prevented first-responders from immediately getting to the crash site. Kobe was a well known basketball player who played for the Lakers for just about 20 years. His daughter also played basketball, following in her father’s footsteps. Kobe was 41 and Gianna was just 13 when they both lost their lives in the crash. They were on their way to Mamba Sports Academy for a youth basketball event when the helicopter went down near Calabasas, California. Kobe and Gianna Bryant will be missed by many, but never forgotten.
