Retired NBA superstar Kobe Bryant was reportedly killed in a helicopter crash in Calabasas, California on Sunday morning (January 26). According to TMZ, everyone onboard the flight was killed.
Although emergency personnel responded as quickly as possible, they were unable to save anyone’s life. Bryant’s wife, Vanessa, was reportedly not one of the passengers on the flight.
Senior NBA Insider Adrian Wojnarowksi confirmed Bryant’s 13-year-old daughter Gianna was one of the passengers who was also killed.
“Sources: Kobe Bryant was on his way to a travel basketball game with his daughter Gianna when the helicopter crashed,” he tweeted. “Those aboard the helicopter also included another player and parent.”
Bryant has famously travelled by helicopters for years. He routinely flew from Newport Beach, California to Los Angeles Stapes Center in his Sikorsky S-76 chopper when he played for the L.A. Lakers.
Throughout his tenured 20-year career with the Lakers, Bryant made 18 All-Star teams. He was a first-round pick in the 1996 draft and won five NBA championships, two NBA Finals MVPs and he was the league MVP in 2008.
Hip Hop has come out in droves to express their sympathy and disbelief via Twitter.

This is truly fuckep up!!!! RIP King.
rip kobe…
Damn my favorite player and all around celebrity.
Im gonna miss him.
i highly doubt that. If you truly end up missing him, then your life must suck.
Lol U a fool for this shit!!
Damn his daughter Gianna died with him too… fuck!! I’m calling homesick tomorrow! RIP to the legend and his daughter
Im homesick too
you take sports way too serious if you’re gonna call in sick tomorrow LMFAO.
The work ethic was unrivalled. RIP the GOAT and his daughter
how tf would you know? Did you practice with him every day on the court?
Countless teammates / sports celebrities and even Mamba has said it himself as to what his daily schedule was like. If you took the time to look, you’ll see this too.
No NumbNutz he observed him like every one else. SMH
I bet you believe in a God you’ve never seen and take everything on faith and interpretation of a story book created by other humans
I bet you think you’re the smartest guy on Earth and feel cool for not believeing in God until you are face to face with death, then you come back crawling to Him with your tail between your legs. That’s human nature 101 🙂

So your belief in him, is based on fear (of death)?
Kings never die!!!
FUck outta here with that self racist asshole.
Kobe had just been with Bill Clinton 2 days ago… Coincidence? I think not… The Clinton Cartel “suicided” another one…. He must’ve connected Bill or Hillary to Epstein, riding the pedofile private jet “Lolita”, 25+ times
None of it really hit me until I saw the pic of him with his daughter. I have a little girl and I know that daddy/daughter love is unmatched. It’s just surreal knowing that a young legend is gone. He basically spent his entire adult life on the basketball court. Rest in peace Kobe and Gianna.
who cares… Kobe never paid my bills for me. Imagine if everyone in this country took our broken healthcare system as serious as sports..
Will you please shut the FUCK up?
Free speech, mothafukka!!
Eat a Dick Hoe!! Nothing freer than that. U Bitch U!
Your just too weak to take care of yourself , thats why you want more government dick in you
The fact that you think his (and others) death matter less, because of the fact that he didn’t tend to your needs, says more about you than you’re willing to recognize. Then have the nerve to talk about the health care system lmao.
If you love Basketball…you would care
What!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I can’t believe kobe is dead. This is a shock to the system. One of the greatest basketball players of all time. RIP
I still remember when he separated his right shoulder and started shooting left handed…he was my nigga after that!! RIP to Kobe, his daughter and everyone involved in that crash…
HA, WOW!! WHAT AN ACCOMPLISHMENT LMFAO! I licked my own asshole today by bending over!
Boooo hoooooo!!
all I know is I let out a big shit in respect to him, cleaning my anus of fungal activity. RIP KING I wont forget the shit
REST IN PEACE IDOL KOBE ….. ;-( ;-(
Don’t cry cause he’s gone. Smile cause he was here.

Police lives matter!
Go get beat by cops my dude. That’s what y’all do best tho!
R.i.p too Kobe and his daughter and other passengers so sad
perhaps you should quit worrying about Kobe and his family, and take some grammar classes.
The first word in a sentence should always be capitalized.
As soon as you learn a sentence start with a capital letter, b*tch!
Now LeBron is definitely the goat
What are you in all this, b*tch *ss n*gga
Fuck dude mane.LeBron way better. Kobe died years ago with his half ass career. LEBRON all day boi. Wuss good punks. Don’t @ me bitch made boys
-#1 Lebron groupie
this will all be forgotten about next week.
Out of your mind, I have a feeling you yourself don’t even believe that. Just had to be one of the edge lords though. I get it. You guys need attention.
LeBron secretly fist pumping knowing he’ll be the GOAT.
it really takes a world famous athlete to pass away for people to appreciate their loved ones?! My god.. how about lose some weight by getting off of the couch and hanging out with your family OUTSIDE instead of wasting hours watching a sport!
hey, i’ll take care of Vanessa now. Wasn’t Kobe unfaithful to her a few times?
Why didn’t you take care of your mom then?
dawg shut up
The Game is going to at least put five tribute songs about this on his next album. Kobe was the face of LA too. Done deal.
So many comments saying “ fuck kobe “ wtf ? U guys may hate him but do u really wish on someones dead ? Plus his kid was there also , imagine if was u guys and ur kids what about then ? rip to kobe and his kid
r.i.p. nobody saw this coming.
ay, what about the pilot that was killed in the crash? Any sympathy for him and his family? Oh wait, he’s not famous.
Probably smoking on that crack pipe caused the fire
The amount of trolls on here are ridiculous. Bet you guys were never loved by your families. Fuck y’all.
Fk u bi** don’t speak on mah family tho bru or it’s all bad. I’ll bring 15 deep to f**k you lil bi** your so hard over the internet. I’d do you somethin nasty tho
Maybe it could have been one of your family members getting killed today stupids speak stupid it don’t matter who is better then who if somebody was better then somebody then why ppl crying it just shows how stupid ppl still is just cause u may play NBA 2k means u better in real life just fucked up how ppl.is still stupid period I never liked kobe matter of fact I hated kobe fuck i was around when the hornets drafted him then traded him.to the Lakers I was around and watched when he scored 80+ then I started to respect him I was around when he scored 60+ day of retirement so don’t say anybody is better then anybody cause the end of the day we all hurt the same
I hear it was a iIIuminati blood sacrifice
I def agree my friend!!
They should make Kobe the New Logo of the NBA and they should also make 8/24 a fuckin Holiday!!!
So where can i find footage of the dead burnt bodies? I know someone filmed that shit
I rubbed a thick warm load out in memory to Kobe. He had a tight meat hole
Best news ever.
Rest In Peace Kobe and other passengers who died in the crash
RIP black man ! One of the best to ever do it, thx for the memories and being an example of a flawed man that made necessary changes to be better. RIP to his daughter and all the others that lost their lives.
Atleast he had a fun fast ride down before he crashed and died. I bet they said weeeeeeeeeeeeeeee this is so fuuuuuun weeeeeeeeee
all I know is I let out a big shit in respect to him, cleaning my anus of fungal activity. RIP KING I wont forget the shit
all I know is I let out a big shit in respect to him, cleaning my anus of fungal activity. RIP KING I wont forget the shit
