NBA Basketball legend Kobe Bryant has died in a helicopter crash on Sunday (Jan 26th) in California. TMZ was the first to report the incident.
The Ex-Los Angles Laker had used a private helicopter as a method of transportation since he played in the NBA.
Bryant was traveling with 4 other people in the helicopter when a fire broke out sending the craft to the ground. Emergency personnel responded to the scene. 5 people are confirmed dead.
Reports have now come out that Bryants eldest daughter was on the helicopter with him:
Bryant's wife and three other daughters were not onboard.
Bryant was just passed by Lebron James on the all-time scoring list. James now sits in 3rd place.
